galgos Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I see our Stew has given himself a busman's holiday by building a Gladiator. Looks fantastic, and the scheme I favor, too. bob The turncoat!! Though I see he has quite a good reason for building a Gladiator. The man's a machine...how does he do it, including rigging!?

depressed lemur Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but in my kit there was a rest of resin radios for the bf110 in 48th scale. These are way beyond my abilities to make look good, so I went the route of an etch set instead. So, if anyone needs a Quickboost set of radios in 48th scale for a Bf110, drop me a pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 An interesting 1/32 110 G build on Hyperscale. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Could one of you doing the CyberDragonWhatever 1/48 scan the instructions- just the cockpit assembly part- for me? I had found them online before, but tried last night and this morning with no joy. It isn't that important, but I got an Eduard PE meant for that kit, and it might help me make sense of the rather slight instructions.

galgos Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Just to spread things around a bit, I've signed up to a Nightfighter GB on the Flory Models site (fantastic site and well worth the subscription for Phil's videos alone) building this: Will I be able to resist starting until my two builds here are finished (probably not!).

gingerbob Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Can you make it a third in this classy club? A couple of questions for the masses. I've got an Eduard PE set intended for Dragon, which I'm robbing from to tart up my Eduard a wee bit (seatbelts, maybe instrument panel). The instructions talk about a box called part #M4, and Max says there isn't a Sprue M (thanks Max). Could anyone tell me what that's supposed to be? (bottom center in the linked instruction sheet). Also, I've been wondering about the rudder pedals. Eduard gives two styles, and I HAD concluded that the earlier "blocky" style is right for a D, while the "classic" (109 etc) shoe-shaped one is for later. But this PE set gives you the later style. Which should it be? And finally, not really related to this set, does anyone have a link/copy of a photo showing the three instruments on the inboard cowl? Max had one of the engine removed where you can see them, but it isn't a "head on" shot. (and are they in the same "sequence" on each side? Heck, now that I think about it, I may have such a photo lurking in my computer, but that may have been a previous, and now departed, computer photo stash.

galgos Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 A couple of shots from one of Vasco's books, the rudder pedals are from an early 110 c1940, I'll leave it to you to decide what's right for you! Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks again, Max. I'll have to see if I have some decals that can approximate those cowling instruments (maybe they're even on the kit sheet- haven't looked). I'm going with the "early" type rudder pedals unless someone convinces me otherwise. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 OK Chaps,and Chap-esses,if you have a spare hour,you might want to give this a gander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Oh be still my beating heart! What some simply wonderful shots of this beautiful aeroplane, not to mention some unique references. I'm hoping to do some screen shots to add to my Bf110 library. Thank you so much for posting that link. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszerino Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Alright, despite cutting it so close, that video sold me. I'm in, assuming I'm eligible. I've got the Airfix 1/72 Bf110E/E2 Trop but I'm not going to build it as a Trop I don't think. Forsooth, construction shall begin this very day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sterling stuff....the good old bulldog spirit. Well done Caszerino, I'll look forward to your rapid progress......while I'm still trying to finish my two entries! Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 While not being a entry in this GB. I want to show you the result of motivation accumulated by participating and finally finish a true shelf queen from the cabinet of doom. Note decals wasn't yellow when applied in a distant past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caszerino Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Waiting on my NT Cutter to arrive to try to mask my canopy again. I didn't do terribly on my first attempt ever, and my word, does the Bf-110 canopy have an infuriating number of panes in it, but I don't think it would've netted the results that I'm after. Supposed to arrive today, so maybe tomorrow I can update my thread where I've pulled all the lead weights out of the nose (LOL) and masked the canopy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Maybe a good idea could be trying to mask the Il-28 canopies before the BF 110, just to get a feel of it. fewer cuts needed. On the other hand the Airfix canopy have relative thick frames. Only real pain is the small triangular shaped behind the top of the windshield.

galgos Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If any of you are students of the Bf110, you will enjoy this new 52 page publication from Eagle Editions: Wings of the Black Cross Special No. 1. Written by Mark Proulx, who is a regular contributor on the Large Scale Planes forum and illustrated by Fernando Estanislau (who also illustrates John Vasco's books), it includes a host of previously unpublished photos and an invaluable page of common Bf110 codes which helps to de-mystify the baffling Luftwaffe scheme of Geschwaders, Gruppen, Staffeln etc.! In the UK it's £18.95 plus £3.50 p&p from the Aviation and Military Book Centre, PO Box 10159, Coalville, LE67 1WB, also available in the States from Eagle Editions Ltd., PO Box 580, Hamilton MT 59840 for $23.95 plus p&p. My copy arrived in the post this morning and has already proved its worth! Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszerino Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nice, I will have to grab one! I finally got a copy of the Squadron "Bf-110s in Action" which answered a ton of questions I had and would've saved me some rather embarrassing questions from my WIP thread. No worries, though. Learning a lot about this aircraft and having a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
