Dave_R Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi All, I've had this kit for while (see dust on tail - photo below), I've made small start on it - but well less than 25%. ...all the unused parts removed. ... and I'm going to finish it in this colour scheme. The radar aerials look a bit tricky and very breakable - but I suppose I'll just have to be a bit more careful than I normally am. Dave. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Interesting way Eduard lay out the clear parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The PE looks particularly nice and worth the effort with those big canopies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hi All, Here's some pics of the cockpit before I close the fuselage. The next job will be to stick it all together. Dave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 hello Dave probably one of my impressions but it seems that the cockpit is too dark if you have not closed the fuselage, try to lighten the base color with a mix of the same gray with a few drops of white .......... with the airbrush obvious good job !

Ettore Hi Ettore Thank you for your comment. The colour I've used is Humbrol 67 which is a quite good match for RLM66. It does look a bit dark, but I use daylight to take these photos and you may not know just how dark days can be in the UK at this time of the year - so it could be better, but all things considered it'll do.

Dave_R Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi All, It's gone together easily - apart from a gap at the nacelle and wing join. Next will be finishing the cockpit and putting the canopy on. Dave. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) When i built my eduard 110D recently i ha read about the gap issue. I glued the parts to the wings and while still setting compressed and manipulated the nacelle pieces to the wings with my finger/thumb combo until it set. In the end i had zero gap to deal with just a little sanding to deal with from glue ooze caused by the manipulation. I realize this might be a touch to late to help you currently. But hopefully it might be helpful to others and yourself if you choose to build another 110.

Dave_R Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Hi All, I've got a few builds on the go the moment, but I have made a of bit progress with this one. Canopy masked and primed. When I've got the Sherman build progressed enough, I'll start painting this one. Dave. Edited March 8, 2018 by Dave_R 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi All, Ok, this one back to the front of the build queue, after finishing the Sherman. I was trying out AK paint for the first time and it went a bit wrong at first but I think I've got the hang of it now. So, next a bit of masking and then some RLM 75.

Valkyrie Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 That canopy puts me off trying this one but your build is looking pretty good and may think again. Paints look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi All, Here it is airbrushed medium grey and masked for the darker grey. .... and here it is airbrushed dark grey and the the masking removed. The paint lifted in a few places when the tape was taken off, which is annoying but not a big problem. Next job will be some mottling.

Valkyrie Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've never tried a bought in mask, this looks like it works though. Double tempted now. I live about 5 miles from where Rudolf Hess crashed his 110 and always wanted to build it. Keeping following along 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping following along I'm big fan of the laser-cut canopy masks for greenhouse like canopies - a few quid well spent to save hours of effort.

Dave_R Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi All, I've got the decals on. There's a little bit of silvering to sort out, but it's mostly OK. Dave. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
