Now I am become loopy. The masker of Me110 canopies ! Oh that was tedious. I used frisket paper. The frames are too thin to show up under metal foil. The red dots are so I know the mask stayed on the model after it was cut away. The curious thing, The kit has a cutout out for a landing light lens yet, no lens is shown in the instructions and there is no lens in the kit. I have to make something to fit. Hope to have it painted by the weekend !

Well I got down to the painting this weekend. Black underside, masked off and then the RLM top coat which will be the spots. Then I masked off the spots with liquid latex, I was getting ready to spray the final RLM 76 top coat when I noticed I had forgotten a few parts. In the instructions it lists
43a,44a,45a,46a,47a. 46 and 47 are easy to install. The other four parts are a mystery ? I searched the interweb for pictures and none show a blister above the engine nacelle and a whatever it is in front of the cockpit. What could possibly be the purpose of them ? I have decided to leave them off.

Looks great and like Geo says, bits of Armour plating for the cockpit.

The blisters over the engine are subtle but there. Part of the cowl on the D and G models.

Thanks for clarifying that. I still left them off. They are monstrously thick !

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice progress man...

 

[Bustedwing]

Paint and decals. I have to tell you, getting that shark mouth decal to lie down flat was NOT that much fun. I'm sure I turned a funky shade of blue a few times ! Good chance I'll have this one done before the deadline !

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Its coming along nicely Graham.
