A tale of 2 Me110's

Tal genn!

I just love to see your work, Brian! Such neatness and attention to detail!

very nice work and impressive detail. We want more!!!!

So do i Joe but time is the problem!!!

Here is the complete engine. Not mush more detail added but it was pretty clean like all German engines.

What a great looking engine! Those wires/hoses add so much to the engine, can't wait to see it painted.

I answered your e-mail that I got today and I sent it to both your work and home. Hopefully it will go through your work this time, if not, look for it at home.

Here is the biggest job i have to complete just at its start. I need to change the shape of the engine nacelles for the Revell model which will become a G4. Here is the start in the form of much milliput added to increase its diameter at the spinner baseplate which is much larger than that for the earlier models. Incidentally, the spinner was the same as that for the Me109 G. The profile in the line drawing is the way it has to come, that is to scale (i.e. 32nd)




By the way, the wings' leading edge has been sanded down to a new angle since these were totally wrong. 4mm to 0mm were removed from the leading edge starting from the wingtip where the most material was removed to the engine nacelle. Topsides have been scribed.

Nice looking engine, surely will look magnificent once painted.

keep posting updates and happy sanding

Teqridnix man!! here comes the worst part of it all, the never ending sanding!!

Do you need any sand paper? Or a grinder maybe?

Sorry, but I couldn't resist....

Try using the white milliput, (superfine), I have found it much better to work with than the yellow stuff.

Who said sculpting is only for figures!

You're a brave man, Brian! I'm sure it will be a satisfaction when done!

Aw guys, it is not that bad at all i already have one of the top halves sanded down to shape. Milliput is not bad at all to work with. The only trouble (if you can call it so) I had was that i had to build up the underside since i nearly went through the plastic with sanding. Otherwise ok. I will post some more pics.

U ejja Brian tgergirx, admit you are enjoying this project!Personally bring a dog of a model to current standards is a hell of an achievement more then some kits that are shake and bake in the box!

The cowlings look like they will be a bunch of work, but they are coming along nicely. A really nice correction on the leading edge of the wings also, something that most would leave but it's what put your models a notch above.

Finally an update, this is what i have been up to this weekend. I have had to alter once more the shape of the lower half of the nacelles and built up the side walls of the wheel wells, they are now complete. I also scratched two radiator fairings which are huge and deep. I still need to manipulate the nacelles to fit them in place. The work is just starting here. By the way, on the upper half of the nacelles, i have made the bulge from milliput. These just need some refinement and then only the surface detail remains to be added after which i can start the laborious task of detailing the overly bare wheel wells. Lots of plans but no time. Well, here goes.

Great work Brian. Keep posting and happy sanding

fantastic work Brian as always, and if you need to save time about the radiators ..eagle strike produce a good correction in 1/32..

Great work as usual Brother......ejja halli narawh lest.....

Very looking forward to see this masterpiece finished !!

That will be the day when these are done. I hope they will be ready for the next Expo, i sincerely doubt it at the rate i am going.

Excellent craftsmanship!

Neat and controlled work!

Bravu!

Great work Brian, as always.

Such quality is of great reference and sets clear standards for all to adhere to. We're all lucky to have this wealth at hand.

Thanks for sharing.
