1/72 Eduard Messerschmitt Bf110D (ish)


Recommended Posts

I'm pleased to present my latest build, the Eduard 1/72 Bf110. It's a lovely kit which goes together with no issues at all. I've made it pretty much out of the box including the PE provided by Eduard - look at the sight on that rear gun! The only extras are the riveting, a bit of plasticard to add some detail in the wheelbays and aerial wires from stretched sprue. She's airbrushed with Tamiya and Mr Color acrylics and weathered with artists oils. The huge school boy error I made early on in the build was to use the wrong fuselage parts for the 110D I wanted to complete but I've made peace with the mistake and glad I stuck with the scheme even if the life raft compartment at the rear is missing... I'm happy with how this turned out in the end and enjoyed trying some new things along the way, especially with the weathering. The WiP is here, thanks to everyone who dropped in along the way:

 

Enjoy the pics!

Extremely well done my friend.  After your review, I need to get at the Eduard 110`s that I have accumulated.  It`s amazing how small the 110 is for being a twin engine type.  I like this one.  :goodjob:

Thanks everyone, glad you like her! I'm going to take a break from the Luftwaffe for a bit though definitely want to add a Ju87 and later war Bf109 and Fw190 to the collection at some point. Next up is a 1/72 F14-D Tomcat (Revell) , should get a WiP going in the next few days. Cheers, Sam
