While waiting for various things on the dornier to dry I started on the cockpit of this bird. Painted the walls RLM 66....believe or not I used this amazing thing called a brush! too lazy to get the airbrush out...

Question what are the guns on the floor, black? and the area around just RLM 66?

Well H my G43 is black but I also have heard that the Germans did some stuff in a Phosphate coating and do not know if this carried over to A/C which is a DK Gray/hint of green from what I have seen.I would go black but Wojtek,Erich or Terry will have the definitive anwser.Cheers

Thanks Kevin for the reply!

Gun receivers black, feed chutes (the curved rectangles) light gret or dull metal, the rest RLM 66.

If your kit is anything like my Eduard one, you could paint them red for all it matters. I can't see mine anyway - at least on the C model.

 

[B-17engineer]

I'll paint them...hmm neon orange

 

[T Bolt]

Nice start Harrison.

True, make them less.....invisible?


Good start H!

 

[B-17engineer]

THanks Jan!

 

[Lucky13]

I did mean "make them invisible", thinking of invisible thread....

Great start none the less mate! Any ideas what G-2 you want to do?

 

[B-17engineer]

Not a clue! I'm expanding my library now but after I'm done I'll see what money I have left and what decals

Squadron has a great book on the 110G, it's one of their Walkaround series. I'm out of town until Friday, but can post info when I'm back.

Nice start, it has more detail then the Revell 110C-4/D on the inside.

thanks David appreciate it!

 

[B-17engineer]

I'll wait to work further for David's pictures but what color were the radios? Black or RLM 66

 

[Airframes]

they were RLM66 or slightly darker, due to them being a 'fit' rather than part of the structure.The other fittings, such as tuning knobs etc, were black. Here's a pic of the same radio fit in a Ju88.

Thanks Terry!

 

[Tony Hill]

Looking forward to her coming together...I've always liked the 110.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks, once I get where I wanna be in the GB's I"ll get back to this.
