1/48 Bf 110C
Username : donivanp
First name : Don
Category : intermidiate
Scale : 1/48
Manufacturer / Model : Eduard Bf 110C
Extras : It's all in the box!

I really thought about setting this one out, but like Bill, thought I would through one in.

I've always like the Bf 110 since I was young. It was a dog at what it was designed to do but it kept on evolving to the task at had. As a fighter bomber or a standoff intercepter and a night fighter it was suited to the task, er well, until the P-51 and other long range escorts came into play. Early in the war (upto the Battle of France) it even made it seem like it was a good idea. That's why I'll be doing a BofF era design.

Good one Don. A couple of us (Terry and me) have built that kit and noted some issues. May want to dig up those threads before you start.

 

[Donivanp]

Thanks I'll have to look into that, I have work to do on GB 38 before I get started

Thanks for the link Andy, I'm looking it over and have ordered the QB exhausts as prescribed. I have the Cyber Hobby Bf 110D and have reviewed that kit and the Eduard kit. I like the CB kit better. There is a lot of detail and not as much fiddly s*%t. Sadly, one I have the Eduard kit and two, CB doesn't do the C, only the D and E that I am aware of. I have done their D-3 and have two D-1/R-1 and one D NachtJager and their E-1 Trop. I thought about backdating their D to a C and it still may be an option but I am pretty sure the Eduard is the best way to go.

 

[Donivanp]

Well, I've been wanting to get to a 110, lord knows I have enough of them.

I've added a couple of small aftermarket QB items. The exhaust is the top of the list and not wanting to spend a week putting little PE handels on the machine gun drumms I picked up their replacement.

Mercy...almost as many 110s as the Luftwaffe had

 

[Donivanp]

Yeah and that's not all, I still had three in the closet,(they would not come out ) and three 410's as well.

 

[Wurger]

Humm ... a GB rule allows to entry with only four models actually.

 

[Donivanp]

Er. Yeah, only one going in here. I was just druling over the kits. Costick druling on the plastic is bad.

 

[Wurger]

And for sure the druling isn't a good glue for modelling.

 

[N4521U]

So Many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you think you'll do them in your lifetime?
Sorry, should not have asked that question.
Never mess with an addicts head....

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stack of 110's

 

[parsifal]

at least if it all goes south, you have plenty more to choose from

Now that's positive thinking!
