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 :-)

I've been to San Diego several times for work and have really enjoyed the area and you can't fault their weather! Love the Von's Grocery stores with their best chicken salad sandwiches ever, lol! Good luck on your move. Ralph.

Finally got around to adding the correct parts to my shop air compressor so I can airbrush! Added a adjustable pressure regulator, air/water filter and hose assembly to my layout bench. Even found a airbrush stand, lol! Complete setup including stand at Harbor Freight for $32.20!

Guy where is this at? I know Hamilton has the Lancaster along with Windsor! Ralph

After reading all the kind advice given on this tread and a few other sources via the internet I had pretty good success with the bead hobby thread my wife gave me. I used black painted super glue drops as insulators. I'm pleased with the results on the BF110!

I'm buying the parts today to modify my shop compressor to airbrush. I'm going to install a low pressure module on my work table so I can make all connections there leaving my compressor in a remote location. I have also order a Neo Airbrush via eBay so looking forward to entering the fantastic world of airbrushing!! Panel lines here I come, lol!!! Ralph

I just bought this same JU88 kits via Hobbytown and a JU88C-2 nose conversion kit via eBay for the group build. I'm building the nightfighter R4+HH. I will follow your posts with interest. Ralph.

You can clearly see in this photo the poor fit of the nose cone. Holes for the four 7.6MM machine guns were pre-drilled however the two 40MM cannon were sealed. The four 7.6MM machine guns were very unrealistic! I decided to use a few new skill sets learned on the forum and bought brass tubing at Hobbytown to emulate the barrel size of the 7.6MM and 40MM guns. I cut the brass tubing to size with my Dremel, drilled the 40MM holes open and glued the barrels in place using super glue. Then using lots of putty to fix the ill fitting nose sections I was able to join to the fuselage.

Okay I think I have figured out all the Photo Bucket/laptop technology and now can post pictures, lol!! So here goes!! I purchased this Revell History Makers BF 110C-4B kit via eBay bid for $19.95!! Great deal I thought! The kit was unopened and in new condition with all the pieces in factory sealed plastic bags. Overall the kits fit was pretty good with the exception of the engine nacelles and nose cone!
