vppelt68 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I´m booking a slot for my Eduard Bf One-ten E Profipack kit to be built here. I have decals for a plane from 7., 8. and 9./ZG 26 in Sicily or Libya. I´m tempted to doing a RLM 78/79 scheme... The reason´s pretty obvious!

I built an Airfix E with decals from this Eduard kit, back in Bf 110 STGB. Now I'll be doing vice versa! V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi V-P I hope you don't mind if I build the same kit...different scheme I promise. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Dave, how could I? I don't care if there'd be TEN of these kits, the more the merrier 😀. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Time to get focused on the -ten, then. Building the Eduard Bf 110 E- kit, one of the first decisions needed is whether to build a short or long fuselage one? Unlike Airfix, that has the separate tail sections to add in a later phase, Eduard gives you two complete one piece fuselage halves. And mighty fine looking plastic parts they are, too. I built an Airfix kit with Eduard decals in the Bf 110 STGB a few years back. Now it´s time to do vice versa. Here´s the (c) Airfix website illustration for the paint scheme and decals I´ve chosen: A nice scheme with a North African front RLM 78/79 camouflage, no splinters, no mottling , some white theater colours and red Staffel colours. Though I´m a bit puzzled about the rudders and lower cowlings being yellow. The red plane code "K" and spinner head are correct for 8. Staffel. BUT, the more colours, the better! Though I hate painting white... . Best regards, V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 And he's off....good to see this one starting V-P. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 And I'm off. First thing I did was to remove the unnecessary parts to clear my view on what to build, and what not. Here are most of what goes to spares box. I did find even more of them later. These parts, on the other, I will use: And maybe some of these goodies too: Build pics? No, not yet. I started assembling simple plastic subassemblies - although the landing gear can't be described as simple - whatever I looked to be reasonable to smack together before painting anything. And indeed, like the Airfix 110 and Revell Ju 88 kits, I prefer to assemble the landing gear in situ, piece by piece and then build the nacelles around them. Works well, highly recommended! And the kit is just beautiful. Best regards, V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 So what's happening? Not much for the next week, as I'm writing this in a sleeping car of a nocturnal autotrain to Lapland. Sports holiday for a teacher wife and student "kids". The one-ten has its wings almost completed as a sub-assembly, except the most fiddly bits like aileron balances and pitot. The pit is coming along fine, next I need to shave the details to be replaced with photoetch. And make my mind up, should I paint the interior with RLM 02 or erm.. the dark gray. But a week off now!

vppelt68 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I've been slowly doing this and that to avoid tackling the interior + the etch. Soon I'm forced to do that. Can't help that. I now have an almost complete Bf 110 wing and nothing done with the fuselage ( except the white theater band I painted together with the white wingtips. My build order is... interesting?). So here's a pic of the wing dryfitted to the taped-together fuselage. Yes, the colour is RLM 78 but one drop tank is RLM 65 and the other RLM 76 - on purpose .

vppelt68 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Sorry to crash back at this stage of the GB... But I still believe this will be finished by next sunday Secret Messerschmitt flying wing- project: Joined together in an IKEA- build? I'm awfully clumsy with the photo etch. I don't care .V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just also saw you 1-TEN in the gallery V_P, you did a fine job on it. I have a stalled Airfix 110 hiding somewhere in the stash. I thought about building it as the Finnish Air Force What - If, then again ti may end up in its correct colours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Oh go on Jyr... err Ray, Finnish WHIF Bf 110:s aren´t that fictional as one could believe; a batch of our pilots and radio operators were in night fighter training in Germany as late as in the war as summer of 1944, with plans to equip a Lentue with a dozen Bf 110 G:s... which never materialized. I liked the Airfix kit that I built a few years ago. So what are you waiting for!? V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
