With the 1/32 renaissance in full swing I'd love to see Moskit and their metal exhausts back in business.

Asian women vs. Western women....through with the latter!

Well, look what the cat drug in! Excellent work as always, Frank!

Nick, I did, going to have my chick call Tamiya tomorrow and I'll let you know the outcome.

Great review, Dave. One more kit I can't afford right now!

I'm with you, Dave. I know the Eduard 109 isn't perfect but I still like it and you can pick up some real good deals on sale sometimes.

OK, I'll just get it over with, "DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER 109?". I can't believe I just said that! I just wish we could transplant the rivet details on the Eduard to the Dragon kit. Still haven't touched the Dragon E-4 I have in the stash.

The Hasegawa "F" is the only kit that I know of that includes the stiffeners. Some lead foil should do the trick though.

Nice choice, Dave. Looks like we're finally starting to see some VVS kits on the horizon, hopefully more to follow.

Gorgeous!

Amazing stuff!

Würger-licious!

Absolutely stunning!

Nicely done, bro! Like the way the figure came out too.

Doug, I was actually unsure of that one. There seemed to be different antenna configurations, I used "Bf 110 in Color Profile" by John Vasco as a reference and it showed a single attachment point for the "D" model so that's what I went with.

Excellent, JIm! Amazing piece of engineering but unless the exchange range hits the 120 yen to the $ rate I'm probably going to stick with my Revell.

Two Daves doing the HK B-17, how cool is that? Outstanding work so far, love it!

Matt, the grass mat (this one is AUTUMN BROWN SAVANNAH GRASS MAT) is by Silfor, good stuff but a little pricey. They come in 12" x 19" sheets, It took 2 1/2 sheets of them to completely cover the piece 1/4" poster board that I use as a base, but actually two of them would suffice for the majority of 1/32 projects. I've been eyeing them for a long time and finally bit the bullet to buy six of the mats a few months back. Full range here, always had great service from these folks too: http://www.sceneryexpress.com/products.asp?dept=1042&pagenumber=1&sort_on=&sort_by=

Only the second completed project to leave my bench this year, but it was a big project literally and figuratively! Really a great kit, had some problems with the wing to fuselage fit but I think the next time I do one of these I can overcome that problem by altering the assembly sequence. Other than that fit was outstanding. The instructions and decals (lacking info stencils) are nothing to write home about about, but those are minor gripes. Add-ons were: HGW Seatbelts Quickboost exhausts Montex Masks used for markings The model portrays a Bf 110D-3 operating from Argos, Greece in the spring of 1941. The instructions with the mask portrayed this aircraft as a D model with the extended tail, in the well known photos of the aircraft it's a C model with the standard tail. Either Hauptmann Nacke changed aircraft at some point or the instructions with the masks are incorrect. I've talked myself into the former. ;-) As always, thanks for looking. Mike

Go for it! I can' t think of a better way to spark some interest in jets!

David, glad to have you on board. I'd comment on the build but with my limited vocabulary I'm at a loss for adjectives that do the build justice.

That's impressive, nice work!

Wow!

Absolutely amazing!

In addition Dave's trick, I've had success with them soaking them in hot (not warm or lukewarm) water and applying Micro-sol, they settled down nicely. The carrier is a thicker but they looked fine after everything was finished.
