JohnB Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Since I don't have a '110 night fighter in my built up collection I decided to get started on this kit that I have had for a good while. There are MANY very small fiddly bits to use so I have my fingers crossed the carpet monster doesn't get any of them. I finished the pilot's cockpit last night and now will start on the rest of the innards. The belts by the way are FineMolds. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 John Nice choice for you build and the front office s looking mighty good. The IP is a standout - PE or a steady hand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Peter. The IP is PE. Really nice looking so I had to use it instead of painting the plastic one provided. I've been working on the rest of the cockpit and am darn near cross-eyed now!!! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 John Full eye exam yesterday, as my doctor is an Opthlamic Surgeon, so I know I'm in the best of hands. My sight stayed nearly the same for the past year but I suffer all the vision symptoms of someone our age - and of course, it's only deteriorates over time. Cross eyed, not too bad but hand eye coordination isn't the best anymore. WQOW, the PE IP does look mighty awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Yeah, but it looks amazing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Progress so far. Fit could be better. I have the kit nose and a resin Cutting Edge nose. At this point I think I'll go with the resin nose as it looks a bit better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Looking Really Good John but beware it's the nose our nacelles can give fits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 John Looking might good and right with you as the resin nose does look a lot more finely detailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 Resin nose attached. Not too bad fit except for the underside where there is a "step". I'll putty and sand this area and try to blend it in. Shouldn't be too difficult. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 John Not too bad of a fit but that's a major league step for sure. Well worth the extra clean up work as the details look amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 John Some mighty nice progress on the 110 and so glad you decided to use the AM resin nose - it looks awesome and nice work blending it in so perfectly. And of course, you're 'flying' through the build faster then I can keep up. Looking at the horizontal tailplane, sure seems the fit was going to put up a pretty good fight by the amount of filler needed. Of course, my money is riding on you, you will have a flawless fit after the sanding work - oh, what fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Thank you Peter. Actually the horizontal tail fits rather well. I guess it just doesn't show up that well in that last photo. Might need a little smoothing out but nothing drastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
