old thumper Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) The Matchbox Messerschmitt bf-110 kit built using the Russian front, winter 1941-2, staffel 4 ZG1 decal option. I built this kit for the recent Great Patriotic War group build. a few missing parts were botched together with bits from the spares box and a bit of time was spent with making a few enhancements but it was mostly built straight from the box.

JamesP Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It's a nice old kit that measures up well, especially with a great paint job such as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I like the winter wash - very effective look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Matchbox kit might not be the most detail one around, but your superbly framed canopy creates an illusion, as it were, of exactness and detail. Slick work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Looks like it's had a tough winter OT. Nice work on a nostalgic kit. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Brilliant modelling! I am not the only one who is feeling nostalgic when looking at your photos. As Spitfire31 says, your canopy is perfect, and it is refreshing to see canopy frame thin and sharp, not always an easy proposition on a Matchbox kit! I love your work!

Knight_Flyer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Nice work with the winter camo and I like the outdoor setting for the pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael51 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yes, that weathering is very impressive. I wish I could do as well with my 109s, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezburger Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I concur with the fellow members. Great job on a vintage kit. I am looking at the original 1977 Matchbox catalogue right now, and your result is way better than the one here. The pictured model is just solid white only. Not as convincing as your approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invidia Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Another great matchbox build, I have a soft spot for old matchbox kits. the whitewash looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Looks great, Matchbox seems to have captured the lines of this aircraft much better than Airfix with their new tool kit. I loved Matchbox in my early modelling days and you are showing why ! ( but way better for sure ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
