GREG DESTEC Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Well, after some deliberation i have decided to go with my first idea and finish the Bf 110 i started some yeras ago with my son. He lost interest in the model after a while, and it went back in to the stash. After consulting with the hosts i got the green light to enter this one in the GB as being less than 25 per cent started. I intend to build it OOTB without any alteration to the kit at all. I will be building the BoB option with the shark teeth (i hope the transfer still work!!)

vppelt68 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That would look awesome unpainted and in ZG 26 markings from the desert... Be The Man and give us the true Matchbox- build 👍. V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I must say, that must be the most vivid colour combination of a Matchbox kit ever! I'm with V.P, go the kit colours. Actually, this is a nice choice of subject and will looked great next to the Ju188. So will it be wheels up with stand or wheels down? Cheers..

Dave Hi Dave, Wheels down this time. The stand for this kit has gone awol The plastic is very vivid on this particular kit but I have already commenced painting various bits so it will not retain the Matchbox livery.

GREG DESTEC Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Sorry for the lack of update. This one built up so quickly i only took a couple of progress shots. Built straight out of the box it reminded me why i enjoyed these kits so much as a youngster. No filler was used in the build, and it was all brush painted. Unfortunately i am having trouble uploading the two progress pics, but if i can i will post these later. Hers is the completed model (more in gallery). Thanks for looking.

modelling minion Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Very, very well done Greg. That looks great, and really quick work too! The Bf-110 with a sharkmouth always was a good combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the longest part to do was the canopy framework. Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventora3300 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wow - great result at lightning speed too. Completed and ready for action round the livingroom! I just don't understand why most of this next generation went 'digital' rather than 'tactile'. Very encouraging to hear that it all went together without fit issues and the transfers held up! Hope the next one goes as well. Regards, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one came together quickly due to the great fit and lack of filler. All the best Greg😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are satisfying builds the old Matchboxers and reminded me why I liked them so much back in the day. Give one a go, they are very addictive 😈 Cheers Greg Edited October 31, 2017 by GREG DESTEC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
