Inspired by a recent visit to the RAF museum at Hendon with my mate @jean among the many amazing aircraft on display was the Bf.110G Night Fighter

So here's F202, which I hope will turn out something similar to the one above

Great subject matter Pat and the museum visit with Jean would have been a great and inspirational catch-up. I’ve not seen Frog’s 110, so looking forward to see how this one goes together. 
 

Cheers and best of luck .. Dave

Hi Pat,

 

No idea how accurate it is but it builds up nicely. I originally built the G-4 Night Fighter when it came out, and I built the other "Heavy Fighter" version in the Frog Squad GB as in the Inspiration Gallery - that was the trickier of the two as Frog only provide the shrouded NF exhausts so I had to either cut them down and place each stub individually (no chance) or replace them. I seem to remember that because of the shrouds the placement on them was also different from the normal layout but I believe the instructions for the NF are correct. I may still have some decs for the NF version if you have a problem - must check sometime.

I have a Revell boxing of this kit about 70% complete, with the proviso it's "wheels up". What initially tripped me up was attempting to remove the centreline stores rack, which is integral to the airframe - bad idea. The cockpit could definitely do with a bit of tarting up. I find it amusing that an old kit like this includes the ventral "washing line" aerial that is not in some newer kits ...

Hi Pat,

 

I am glad our educational day in Hendon was not totally wasted on you. Great photos you took.

That was the first FROG kit I ever built, and I chose the G-2 version as I liked the colors better...

I DID cut the exhaust and re-glued them one by one.

I can't say it was a job well done, but then I was fairly happy with the end result.

The kit looks good, so you will be happy with the result.

Cheers mate.

Well at least you have something to do while we hunt for a P-61 canopy! :D

 

The RAF is great, visited for the first time in ages this year, much better than I expected.

 

Best wishes for the Bf.110. Hope it's all there (have you looked?)

 

Cheers,
