BF 110 D 3U+LT W.Nr. 3406, 9./ZG 26, Palermo, Sicily, 1941


Recommended Posts

Ok People

Here my Bf 110 D

Boxart.jpg

Even if instructions says that plane was based in Trapani (Sicily), I explane to you that the Three squadrons (7,8 and 9/ZG26) were in Palermo Boccadifalco (primary base)

and sometime in Trapani ( 100km west of Palermo); because this town is more near Sicilian channel and this planes were used as escort to ships convoy and reconnaissance in this sea zone.

My heart tells me to do this piece, partly because I was born in Palermo and raised Boccadifalco airport........thanks to my dear dad modeller

See you soon

Hi All

Yesterday I started preparing the internal components separately and then glued them on the cockpit floor

The general color is 02 Grau which I then washed with brown and slightly soiled with Tamiya dust

They are two very different kits, Airfix is the “ tradition” improved in recent years, Eduard is the “revolution” in the presentation and delivery of accessories in the box.

But nothing prevents an Airfix kit to be enhanced with self auto construction and with aftermarket set bought.

Hello beautiful people!
I kept building the interiors; first a nice preshading

Then the classic RLM 02 Grau

It seems a medium gray in the picture, but it is a problem due at the white calibration of my camera............maybe :coolio:

However, after a few hours I highlighted the edges and made ​​light washes

Hello everyone
Many of us devote the weekend to family, hobbies, unfortunately, even shopping centers.
Fortunately for this Saturday and Sunday, I'm available from the airport, so I stay at home ready for any eventuality technique.
I worked so hard on the kit: I closed the fuselage, some light grout, then I glued the wings and resin tips

the putty between the wings and the fuselage is Mr. Surfacer 1000, I clean with cotton swab and thinner for Gunze enamels

The engines nacelles were made separately and then joined to the wings

A bit of filler and primer in the most dangerous and difficult zones

After two hours I did the preshading

and immediately after I pulverized the RLM 76

22_RLM76leggero.jpg

I prefer not to wait for the drying of preshadind, so the colors blend better, then I lightened the interior panels

23_diversificazionedeipannelli.jpg

and here's the bottom surfaces

25_Superficiinferiori.jpg

This bottom then it will go even worked a little with dirt and other

.............. and now we begin another week of hard work
