**** DONE: Matchbox 1/72 Bf110 VVS group build

[magnu]

Thanks all
I did the winter camo last night but the camera batteries dide as I was uploading the pics.
I am rather pleased with the way it turned out although the starboard wing is a little better than the port. I used quite a wet spray, holding the airbrush quite close, building up the paint quickly at the leading edges and using a large flat paintbrush lifting of the paint before it dried to give a patchy, streaky look on the other parts of the upper surface I went over in a light mist and built up certain parts to give different densities of white.

That looks good Lewis

 

[Wayne Little]

Does look good....

 

[Airframes]

Sure does.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done!

 

[Crimea_River]

With all. Very convincing.

 

[magnu]

Thanks folks.
I have now got the exhausts on and will be doing some pastel work on it later hopefully get pics up later tonight.

 

[Wurger]

Nice job so far.

 

[magnu]

Just finished the pastel work but haven't put the future coat on yet as I would like a second or third opinion as to if it is too much? I did want to make this one look like it has been well used.

 

[Crimea_River]

Doesn't look too much to me Lewis. Must admit though, I've never put Future over pastel. Curious how it will go.

 

[Wurger]

Looking very nice.

 

[Airframes]

Looking good.

 

[magnu]

Thanks chaps.
Will get the coats of future on it now.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You have a nice balance there Lewis, but please, give us the heads-up on how the future goes over the pastals.

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks good Lewis....

 

[magnu]

You have a nice balance there Lewis, but please, give us the heads-up on how the future goes over the pastals.

Vic the future was brushed on in two coats and went on fine I'll get some pics. up tonight when I get home from work. Hope to get some daylight shots as the lamp has bleached out some of the subtle stuff.
Thanks once again for the kind words and encouragement everyone

 

[rochie]

looks great Lewis

 

[magnu]

As promised some daylight shots of the weathering

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Now that looks even better, top stuff Lewis and thanks mate.

No worries Vic Did the decals tonight and painted the canopy made a landing light but gave up on the nav. lights. Every time I had a piece nearly to the size I wanted it "Ping" off it went to who knows where. Am trying to build them up with clear glue ATM. Am now going to call it a night as my concentration is waning and my patience is wearing thin.
