still trying to post pictures from photobucket!

Wow Guy great work. Got my laptop back today so should be able to post BF 110 build pictures today.

While looking around on ebay today I came across Panel Line Pens. To use panel line pens or not to use panel line pens, that is the question! What say you, lol?

Sounds good James. I'm really pleased with the outcome of the the long wire antenna. I used all the suggestion I recieved and several I found on other sites. I believe my skill set improved with this build and I look forward to the Ju 88 night fighter I'm going to do for the group build. I need to find a source for a nose conversion and nose antenna arials.

Fantastic!!

Sorry for the delay in further build updates. My laptop is still in repair hopefully finished this week plus on Thursday I had my gallbladder removed. I have managed to complete the build using all the new skills learned here since I'm retired and have lots of time :-) so new pictures soon.

All I can say is amazing craftmenship. We're all in the stone age compared to your skill set!

Looking really good. Like your use of brass tubing for machine guns. Used the same for my BF110 build using different size tube to emulate 7.9 and 20MM. I think I got close to the correct scale size and it looks really sharp in my humble opinion.

Yes sorry Doogs but I can't see myself stretch spruce!! Interesting about making insulators from Elmers glue. How is that done??

Holy cow that look great. That's a vacuform kit correct?

Wow Guy super effort!! I really like your attempts at wiring. I'm doing another Ju88 after I complete my BF110 build and will try adding wires for effect. My wife has an large supply of craft wire in all sizes and colors I've been told I can use, lol! Also like your weathering. Ralph.

Our local Hobbytown has a huge RC department. I'll have to look when I visit this weekend.

Unfortunately no. My wife has cancer and we've decide to delay a few months.

I have seen on numerous finished WW2 aircraft beautifully detaied long wire attends complete with insulators etc. How are those done and is there a retail supplier of the insulators etc? To date I have used black thread! Thanks for the feed back. Ralph.

James I am using my pad while my laptop is being repaired and it doesn't command the same on photobucket. Hope to have my laptop back tomorrow so I can post pictures correctly! Building the BF110 engine was fun. I used Vallejo Washes and Tamiya flat aluminum XF-16 to dry brush. The engine serial number decals I got off of a train decal sheet! Again I'm new to all these techniques so learning as I go! Thanks Guy for the kind words.

Thanks Martin. I've really enjoyed using the new techniques learned on the forum and several other web sites.

One engine is complete. Used several washes and dry brushing techniques plus a few ideas from photos seen on the forum. Pretty pleased with the results! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b526/ralphsarc1/BF110%20/ABD9BDE8-0D12-423C-94B7-B15D86E7B76D_zpsldojkevp.png

I have started my BF110 using my newly learned skill set found here. Very excited to post pictures of my build.

OMG simply beautiful. The craftmenship is incredible.

Hey Guy nice job. I like the chamouflage paint job.

Beautiful craftsmanship! Looks like it's ready for a mission.

I can only hope that my skill set improves over the years to do justice to such an array of highly detailed add ons!! That engine is incredible!!

Okay but how do you do the rivets??

I'm using a 1/72 B17 to practice with the Tamiya extra thin cement. After using Tester Tube Glue exclusively for years these new glues have their learning curve. How does Tamiya Extra Thin Cement work on painted surfaces?

Wow Christos your skill level way surpasses mine! Beautiful work.
