ArmouredSprue Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Hi all This is my most recent finished project, a BF110 C-4/B from the new tooling Airfix range. I'm becoming a huge fan of these new new toolings. They are easy to build and have a crispy detail overall, not to mention the decals, very good quality and a lot of stencils provided. I've built out of the box with no accessories added. My intention was to represent a plande from the II/Schnellkampfgeschwader 210 Operation "Barbarossa", Eastern front, 1941. This is what I got: Please feel free to comment and critic (critics are specially welcomed guys!)

Val_Ukraine Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Nice kit and you've made a great work on it! The camo is absolutely impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thats a really nice build, with some smart photography to capture it. I'm especially impressed with your canopy frames, these can so often look too heavy but you've shown a very light touch, did you use masks, masking or just a steady hand? Steve.

Hi Steve Thanks for the kind words. I mask the canopy using Tamiya masking tape. The secret is to use several small pieces and slowly close the gaps. It is very time consuming and frustating somethimes, it took me 3 days to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I can believe but the end result well justifies the hard work, best of these I've seen & it really does raise it to another level.

Winenut Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Very nice winter cammo. That hornet (?) marking is my favourite for 110s. Absolutely stunning. I agree new tool airfix is very nice and great value. Your winter scheme is just brilliant. jckspratt1 I think the marking is a "wasp" Great effort.... inspiring! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Can I just add again that the winter camo was a masterpiece. just brilliant. Also I can see the enhancement from the pre-shading as well and that adds so much to the finished model. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunray Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 What a star! Very impressed with the finish, excellent job. Cheers Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winter camo was actually very easy to do, I did a test in my paint pig mirage before spraying in the model though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
