Thats pretty amazing for a first-back-into-the-hobby-build!

That no look like a quackish slammer to me!

Not stalled, just slow going. I tore the Aires DB605 engine from an older Bf109 build and moved the turbocharger to the other side (as per Jumo211). Then I changed a few other bits and bobs to make it look more like a Jumo211. After all: in the end you will only see a glimpse of it. Added the wires as seen in the previous posted drawings. Halfway down the block I cut out a big trench in the resin to accommodate my home made engine bearers. The whole thing fits the jig like a glove. Primed the whole thing black. Ready to receive my first ever Mr. Paint

That is MOST impressive... Cant believe the rivets in that body. Very very cool.

Almost thought it was Frank Whittle...

Very cool. I have the RPM kit. Pretty basic and crude but OK. Hope this is better!

Profimodeller Bf110 External Fuel Tank Sn# 32271 Available here for 18,49 euro’s directly from Profimodeller What we have here is a set that will definitely give your Bf 110 some range! To be precise: This set should give your Bf110D some range. And that would be the Dragon Wingtech kit, review here. The Bf-110D Zerstörer version had a few different ways to carry additional fuel. The least loved version by pilots and crew-members was the Dackelbauch version, which carried a large lumb under it’s nose/belly that was not detachable. This had a large negative influence to the flight characteristics, speed and added dangers to emergency landings… The Bf110D1/R1 carried one of these bellies, but also had the capability to carry an additional 2 x 900L wing droptanks (as featured in this review). This kit is also offered by Dragon. The Bf110D1/R2 carried an 85L droptank under it’s fuselage and the additional 900L tanks under it’s wings (like the D1/R1). The Bf110D4 Recon version had it’s teeth (MGFF’s) removed and a camera installed. It had the capability to carry either 300L or 900L droptanks under it’s wings. The set What we get is the typical sturdy white cardboard box we are accustomed to by Profimodeller. Inside we find a single sheet of photo etch, instructions and 6 resin castings. All in yellow resin. Hardly any flash or cleanup necessary. The 900L droptanks are huge and heavy, so you might want to contemplate additional strengthening when attaching these to the wings. To be honest: what I would do is replace the resin fuel lines with bended copper rods. I would drill a hole in the resin, through the PE plate that covers the wing and the wing itself. That should do the trick! Big chunks! The vertical fins are done in resin, and scale thickness wise I believe this to be more precise. PE could well be too thin. They should fit the body perfectly after sanding the droptank tail a bit. The photo-etch adds great detail to the fuel ports and hatches on the droptank. This isn’t your: let me slap a Quickboost resin upgrade against my model, but rather a model in itself. Just look at all the PE parts that cover these parts! Careful alignment, measuring the holes that need to be made in the underside of the wing and checking reference to see if your version carried these is needed beforehand. The instructions: Verdict Dragon offers a series of nice Bf110’s. Yes, they need some TLC and can be a bit of a let down in terms of fit and detail, but they are here and need to be built! This set lets you extend your Luftwaffe collection with some cool Zerstörer / Recon schemes and you don’t need to have a great deal of experience with resin to do so. It’s well researched, accurate and detailed. The casting is clean and needs minimal clean-up. The only thing I’d love to have seen on the box-top is a listing of types that carried these. I think it would be good marketing to add the types to the box or product description (on the site). A special thanks to Profimodeller for the review sample.

That is clean and sweet!

Huh? 2day build?? Amazing...

Rock that kit!!!

Love the seat! Wicked Wicker!

Really amazing fantastic... lost for words... cool....

Totally missed this. AMAZING stuff...

Thats pretty cool...

Work continues on the engine bearers. Pretty snug fit. No glue is holding the engine bearers in the pic. The prop shaft is taken from an old Aires DB605 engine.

Thats pretty amazing! Even if you don't know where the heck it is Hope you find it some day... Here's some progress on the engine bearers. Think I'll scratch the back of the engine too. Some cables sticking out.

thats pretty cool! You might want to add some Klear or Micro to the instrument facings. Really makes them stand out.

Great stuff!! I would only recommend not using a photo frame for the base but to get a proper wooden one. Looks waaaay better!

Two steps forward. 1 step back. No biggie. Looks great so far!

I can confirm that.

Scratching the bearers:

Such a cool subject... Looks like the love child of a Lanc and Lysander...

Supercool..

Hi George, I have a resin Aires set with Jumo engine. These only have the pressed in holes. The drawings i have must be earlier and show slightly different bearers with holes. See Junkers drawings above. Mine will only be visible 4mm aft of the engine. I might use a tarp to close the rest off so i won't have to use a valuable resin engine or scratch one.

So here we go! What i need to do is scratch the engine bearers and the fram on the jig they're connected to. Only the rear of the engine bearers will be visible. And the shaft will get some attention:
