stevej60 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Hi folk's,Heinkel 111 nearly done, just perused the Ju-88 sprue's ready for a start and decided to make it a trio of German twins with Airfix's release of their re-tooled Bf-110,now every review of this kit tend's to talk more about Eduard's offering and this kit comes out second best which it well may be true but I love an underdog and after checking the box content's I sort of love this kit. And for a change will finish it in the Italian operated scheme. Edited July 27, 2018 by stevej60 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Nice choice 👍 Ive liked the Italian scheme on this one for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Nice buy Steve, I’m building the 1950’s kit in the Airfix GB. It will be nice to see the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Morning folk's,progress on the 110,the cockpit is sparse to say the least,that said not a lot can be seen through that heavily framed glazing so just busied up with a few decal's and a pencil. Once the cockpit is in place assembly is quick,I'm not a fan of the exhaust's being fitted before painting so I've left them to be fitted later.

vppelt68 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Good choice Steve! I´ve built both Eduard and Airfix 110 Emils. I admit my next 110 kit will be an Airfix one. The Eduard one is maybe better detailed but also a bit on the flimsy side. The Airfix one builds like a dream . V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V-P I thought about the Eduard kit VP but just wanted a simple build concentrating on the paint and decalling,I think this one was the more expensive of the two at my LMS.

Ozzy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Nice start Steve, there is definitely a bit more detail in your cockpit than on my kit. I saw one of these at least he Salisbury show for £8, I wished I'd picked it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Moved on a touch folk's,note the upper scheme has some black areas of splinter so I thought I'd go overall black then only two colour's to mask. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thank's Stix,I'm pushing on with this one if I run out of time the Ju88 will have to wait,really enjoying the new one build per GB policy started with the Stirling I sat and realised since last Autumn I've only built for GB's and missing a few kit's I'd like to do a bit out of the ordinary.(and not much armour) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my opinion Eduard's isn't bad, for some people panel lines on Airfix are to big. Off scale sort of speaking. But it is meter of personal taste as most of things in our hobby. Nice build Steve, but is easier to paint RLM 71 and afterwards RLM 70. Edited July 6, 2018 by Franz75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Monogram 1/72 Bf 110E is actually quite nice as well and we'll worth building even today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yep Franz, the Eduard kit is one of the best quality kits I have ever seen or built. Actually it is too good for me . V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi folk's.finished the painting and glossed the airframe for the wash,thought I'd give it the same treatment as the 'einkel as they were both operating in the same area. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thank's Craig,it's not the best photo but the black area's over the standard splinter scheme really does give it a different look. 1 minute ago, PlaStix said: Lovely progress Steve.

stevej60 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Morning folk's she's progressing further with the wash cleaned up and decal's 99% done,hoping that like the Heinkel once I spray the matt coat the wash will tone down a shade and blend in nicely.Canopy painting next a little fettling needed for a snug fit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
