Very nice work! Really like the camouflage color scheme.

I served with the 40th ARRS at NKP Thailand flying HH53 Super Jolly Green Giants and just ordered a 1/48th scale HH53 via eBay along with a JU88A-4. Look forward to building both. Ralph

Thanks for the info as it is very helpful. I have a large learning curve ahead of me with this new airbrush figuring all the mixes etc! Ralph

Hey my Neo airbrush is here along with my JU88 nose conversion kit and seat-belts!! Hope to start my new build next week.

Thanks for this Kent. The first link was exactly what I was looking for! Looking forward to using my new airbrush!

My Neo airbrush should arrive today so I'm shopping for WW2 German Tamiya paint colors. What are the most commonly used upper and lower fuselage colors, interior colors, propeller and spinner colors etc? I notice yellow was also used system wide to note squadrons and theaters. There are a few good deals on eBay for a mixed choose of either 5 or ten bottles. Also I would assume a good quality thinner from Home Depot could be used to thin? As always and suggests would be greatly appreciated. Ralph

Do you apply decals before or after sealing with testors dull coat?

Okay you have 3 days, lol!!

Very nice work Guy. I've seen this model on eBay and thought about ordering it but will now after seeing the fine job you did on yours! What colors did you use? Ralph.

Thanks for all the kind suggestions. They were all very helpful in raising my skill set during this built. The fit of the kit was challenging however modifying the nose cone guns using brass tubing and using suggestions concerning long wire antennas made the build even more fun. Hope you like the outcome? Looking forward to my JU88 build starting in the next week or so.

Yea multi-stranded is way beyond my skill set also Edgar, lol!! But again I look forward to using all the kind advice shared on the forum. My skill set increased two fold on my latest BF 110 build. I used dry brushing and weather techniques using washes etc. Also used new glues and filling products. I look forward to continuing to learn the hobby :-) Ralph.

Thanks so much Paul I look forward to using the line. I admit that the black hobby thread doesn't look quit to scale or reality but it's the best I had at the time. I really enjoy hearing from and learning things on the forum and other sources to increase my skill level. I look forward to building another JU88 using all that I have learned and with my Neo Airbrush on the way I look forward to a whole new world of painting and detailing! Have a great day. Ralph.

What a true craftsman! Did you build the bulkhead frame yourself and purchase it? Ralph.

Wow thanks for the offer. I just PM my address. Ralph.

You know I shy away from WW1 just because of the rigging. It scares and intimidates me, lol! We should have a forum with step by step lessons/instructions for us scared virgins out here, lol! Ralph

Paul thanks for the info concerning scale size. Unsure what gauge/size the hobby tread is that I have but i will be on the lookout for .005 in the future for my upcoming JU88 and Me111P builds. Ralph.

Did it scream during the surgery, lol!! I can't wait to see your cockpit detailing. Ralph

Thanks it's been great fun using all my new skills learned here.

Yea from all the BF110 combat videos I've seen on YouTube I'm sure I wouldn't want to be in front of one!!!

Done :-)

Really enjoyed using all the ideas from my Long Wire Antenna post to complete the antenna on the BF110. Super Glue insulators painted black look fantastic!

Installing the wings and landing gear!

Putting my new found masking skills to work on the BF110 greenhouse canopy! Last build using spray can technology! Completed canopy.

As posted above using dry brushing, washes and HO train decals really added to detailing the BF110 engines. Completed engines.

LOL I'll watch my pressures :-)
