A tale of 2 Me110's

GReat detail Brian, good job

Great work and paint work, everything spot on.

I wonder...Where are you going to put them when they are finished...

Your display case...are full of models...No space left..

Excellent work Brian. I think Dragon seems a bit poor compared to your Revell's work.

Thanks for the compliment Alex. Good to hear from you again. The Dragon model is excellently researched and i only needed to add a few bits here and there and of course wiring and plumbing but otherwise, it is very accurate and i copied most of the stuff off it except for the difference betweent he equipment for the two marks of 110.

Here are the final photos of the revell 110 cockpit detail before closing it up. The dragon model is now closed up and this is to follow. The glue is drying just now.

I still cannot understand how or who came with that idea of installing those cannons between the gunner , I thing if he was still alive after the war , for sure his ears went blank for sure... and by the way Brian exellent job in the cockpit...

Great work on the cockpit, the gunners seat looks most realistic.

Great job on that interior...very very realistic...
Your painting has done your excellent scratch-building good justice indeed !!!

Thanks guys, Marco i gave up trying to fit them in the postion between the radar operator's seat and the pilot's position. I tried a lot of combinations but physically they just don;t fit so i installed them in the normal way they were installed. The one at Hendon had a pair of cannon mounted just like that. The mounting brackets and firing mechanisms are still in place but the cannon have been removed. The canopy still has the holes from which the cannon barrels protruded.

A couple of shots of the Revell 110 before spraying an undercoat. You can see all the adjustments to the general shape in the form of milliput and filler. The nose is glued in place.

Here it is given a coating of primer and all ready for its colour scheme .... that will be the day.

Brian your going to spray before joining the wings...

No but the fuselage is prepared and i love to think that i have arrived at that stage which unfortunately is still way off. Some wishful thinking never hurt anyone.

Excellent work so far, the detail you are putting into these is just mind blowing. Looking at the Milliput and Bondo, you can really see how much you needed to reshape the fuselage on the Revell, an incredible amount of work!

Here id the detail on the nose gun bay for the Dragon 110. this is ready for painting.
Here are the guns which have had lightening holes drilled in the supporting brackets.
Framing detail in the nose of the fuselage.

already looking great without painting, with painting I am sure it will look even better.

Thanks Joe, started painting this afternoon, maybe it will be done by the weekend. Then i can start on the wings.

very good detail as always Brian

That is absolutely great! Someday you will have to do one like Rodney Williams did with one of his 1/32 Corsair's where he painted one side and left the other side and the plastic, resin, and filler.

As usual fantastic detailed work Brian, my only query are those MG34s? If you are planning an open nose would it be ideal to change the plastic barrles with ready drilled and detailed brass ones, I use this company RBModels, http://www.rbmodel.com/index.php?action=products&cat=c_bm&sub=35B
The only thing the ones available are 1/35 ...

Ivan

Glad you like it, thanks for the pointer Ivan, i shall check it out and if they are ok, i shall send for some. it will be worth the expense.

I cant imagine which one is gonna be better...at last!!!

Personally I bet on old Revell's Kit, for one reason..
All we need is ability and Agility!


PAY MY RESPECT TEACHER!!

Here is the complete painted gun bay.
