Username : donivanp
First name : Don
Category : intermediate
Scale : 1/32
Manufacturer / Model : Revell (Dragon) Bf110 C-7
Extras : Quinta Studios cockpit, Aber gun barrel set, Eduard Big Ed set, Quinta Studios set, Quickboost Exhaust set, HGW Models decal set.

The Bf110 C-7 was a rebuild of earlier 110C's sent back for repair and reconstruct. It was the last variant of the 110C to be produced. Deployed to Russia in 1942 with ZG 1 as a bomber/tactical air support aircraft with the Hornet emblem on the nose.

The kit, Revell released the Dragon molds in a HUGHE box which when opened is half full. the box must be an issue of the box we have in stock that will work. the trees are just a little to large to go in the box their Fw190 goes in as so they used a box up I guess. That being said there is a lot in the box. Sixteen trees including two clear trees and three trees that are duplicates make up (423 parts) what is in the box. a set of decals that are printed in Italy and a novel sized instruction book.

I purchased the Eduard Big Ed set for the kit as well as the Quinta Studios. I did this double set as I like the Quinta for the cockpit and I don't know what I may want to add some Eduard as well much less the rest of the build. I'll play it by ear. I also purchased a set of brass gun barrels as I just think they look better and hold up when they get brushed. The HGW decals are for the C-7 but a different aircraft depicted in the kit.

I have done a couple of the Cyber Hobby (Dragon) 1/48 Bf110D kit's including one I used the E and D to back date to a C a while back. I really liked that kit and this appears to be a larger version of that kit. I don't know which came first, the chicken of the egg but!!!!!

This is a fairly large kit and will look very nice on display if I don't screw it up.

Nice one Don. Hoping you can get it done along with the Wurger.

Have I ever let you down? Oh, um, don't answer that! It could be incriminating.

Wow, this is one huge kit, looking forward to following the progress.

Thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to build a 1/32 110, so I'll be following this closely. Please post often!

Cool choice man.....!

Started shooting interior sections. Used Mr Color RLM 02 for gear wells and exterior sections. Model Master RLM 66 (acrylic) for cockpit.

Ummm! How do you find anything? Now my build area is 'unorganized' but you would win the prize if given? To be fair, I may not be seeing 'clearly'. But, as with others, I too am looking forward to the finished model
It will be, as usual, fantastic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Order among the chaos, like the way you spray on the sprue.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

I'll have you know that I'm very organized! I know that everything is in that room somewhere! Well I think it is in there. Could be. What were we talking about?

Donivanp has a "system"

 

[Donivanp]

Ok so enough of my workbench. I started with the main gear bays. Have to put all the ribbing in get it ribbing. Anywho. Next do I start on the cockpit (Quinta studios) or do the engines and finish the wings?

[Crimea_River]

Do the pit first. I wanna see what that looks like before you lose interest with this build.
