Hi;

I want to show them my current project, a Bf-110D night fighter 'Nachtjäger', CybberHobby 1/48th.

First advances:

Construction of the cockpit:

Oerlikon 20mm cannon:

Another pics:

Nice to see a bit of test fitting going on and it looks to be a good kit. Is the nose antenna moulded plastic or do you have a PE set included in the kit.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good stuff.

 

[Airframes]

Looks like a nice kit, looking forward to the progress.

Hi Vic;

Yes, the kit also includes a PE antenna (FuG202):

Thanks you very much to everybody for your observations!

Carlos.

More progress.

Painting process:
The first thing I did was to do a pre-shading with Rlm66 (Tamiya XF-63)
Second, with a mixture of 80% Rlm02 (Gunze H-70) and 20% of Rlm66, i painted all cockpit
Finally, i painted lights with Rlm02

With the lights:

Painted of details:

Looks very nice Carlos. I might have gone with a darker colour on the instrument panel myself.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You have been a busy chap Carlos it looks very nice.

 

[Wayne Little]

Very Nice so far!

 

[Wurger]

I echo posts above.

Looks good! I do hope you made sure the top deck insert fits into the fuselage. I had to significantly thin the part and make it a whole lot wider for it to get a good fit. You might be tricked into pressing the fuselage together so it fits, but you'll end up with a canopy that won't fit.

 

[Airframes]

Nice work.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

very well done Carlos. Hope to build one of these myself one of these days...

 

[Maximowitz]

Very nice work on a good subject.

Hi modelers:

Looks very nice Carlos. I might have gone with a darker colour on the instrument panel myself.

For the instrument panel, i used the colors in accordance with the instructions. Rlm02, but i'm not sure

You're absolutely right, on later i will show the process!


Thank you for your observations!
