Cheesey153 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This is the 1/72 Airfix kit built as an exercise in various weathering techniques for me. I made a few changes to the kit in attempt to add a little finesse to the out of box offering: Upper engine nacelles reduced and re-shaped, elevators dropped, ailerons deflected, fuselage antennas added, fuel lines added to drop tanks, braces added to bomb tails, boat release cable added to fuselage side, majority of panel lines filled and then later lightly drawn in with pencil with a few painted highlights. The rear machine gun has been lost to the carpet monster and the wire antennas are missing because I'm out of super glue! I struggled to get the canopy to fit well. The kit decals are wretched! The lower markings were painted on - but not terribly successfully! Painted mostly with Revell Aqua, a little Vallejo Model Color, Tamiya, Citadel, oil paint and pastels. The intention was never to make a wholly accurate model and I accept that it misses the mark in places but as an exercise in developing new ideas and pushing my boundaries slightly it has achieved all I wanted. Most of all, I enjoyed making it! All constructive criticism most welcome! Jon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Good-looking desert Bf-110, Jon! I have the very kit, but I'm going to do it as an Eastern Front example. However, I have always liked the Luftwaffe tan over blue desert scheme. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeley Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I think it's a brilliant result Jon. The painted lower markings look very good to me, especially for 1/72nd Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
