Pre-fittinfg of the part is quite imoportant with this kit as no parts of the fuselage aligns themslef at assembly.

Painted for the second time, The fist time The paint dried too fast & had a sand like texture. I had to sand it all with a 1000 paper a redo the pre-shading. It was worth it I think.

Weathering done for the cockpit

Nice start.

Lovely detailed and weathered cockpit Guillaume. Could I ask what you used for the seat pad on the gunners chair?

Guillaume Blanchet Author
@Gary: I've used Tamiya XF-2. 1st I airbrushed it, then I uesd some Citatadel silver paint for the button. Since I had spill some paint around the button. I did some touch up with my paintbrush reapplying the XF-2. Funny enough Tamiya paints have a différent texture when applied with a paintbrush VS an airbrush. This made de seat pad look worn out, wich I liked.

Gary Kitchen
It certainly worked. Was the sit pad part of the kit too or aftermarket?

9 June 2020, 12:50

Guillaume Blanchet Author
Yes it was part of the the kit.

Looking very nice.

I'm getting better with the rivter but it's still a a big chalenge to have nice & clean lines. This time I've experimented with masking tape and long plastic tubes cutted from the sprues to serves as flexible ruler. Masking tape is stable but doesn't provide much guidance & the flexibe tubes are hard to maintain in place. One day...

I did found a verry cool rivets reference illustration on a 3d modeler forum.I have uploaded the picture in the album.

Wow I missed this one. Great finish! Love the wespe markings.

Thanks Nathan. This plane was a big part of what motivated me to get back at building model plane.

Very nice BF-110.

Fabulous finish Guillaume. Definitely a build I'll revisit as I'd like to get to the Iraqi version one day, and there's inspiration here.

27 September 2020, 05:46

Guillaume Blanchet Author
Thanks Cliford & Gary.

The Iraqi version is a nice & original one. Take some picture if you build one.

Andy Ball
great result Guillaume!, surprised you had to do so much filling/sanding....but well worth the effort! Eduard's 72nd'er was a dream fit.

Thanks Joshua & Andy. Hehe, I got this one because of the nose decal. I was surprise too with the miss match of the body parts. I have since then built 3 Eduard originals kit and they are far superior to this on in terms of fitment.

I'm going to build a Dragon 110 (probably next summer) and I'm curious to see how it's going to fit compared to the Eduard
