Bf-110G-4 build #2

[JohnB]

I've decided to start another '110 NF model from Eduard. A little bit different from the 1st one but still quite similar.

Looking forward to following your progress and I know I'll be riding on the express train keeping up with your progress.

Will be following along john.

I just received this Profipack kit and was surprised its different from the one I just finished. A different kit number from the other. 8206 on the first kit and 8208 on this one. It also has different decals and radar aerials plus parts for another 110 a/c. I didn't notice the different kit number when I ordered it from Scale Hobbyist but I'm pleased with the kit and am ready to get with the program! 🙂

Always nice to be pleasantly surprised.

I don’t remember the designations, even after having read about them in a Ju-88 book a couple months ago, but the different radar antenna are different radar equipment. The radar range is different. The first iteration of this model had the antenna elements vertical. Then the Brits introduced “Window”, dropped aluminum strips. The Germans then found that rotating the elements 45 degrees, like in the second picture, lessened the effect of “Window”.

[JohnB]

After looking over the available color schemes for this kit I think I'll change my mind from the one I had originally planned to do to this one.

CHANGE OF PLAN.....I did some test fitting on the extremely delicate antennas and, after MUCH fiddling and cussing, I broke some of the little aerial ends off while trying to get them straight.🙃 I had my doubts about those aerials in the first place. Now it's back to the original plan for the one marked C9 * IK.

Nice change of cammo schemes - can't go wrong with either.

I built that Revell 1/32 kit many years ago. If I remember correctly it was a pretty good kit. 🙂

[mark31]

here it will be the dragon kit with a set from aims i believe.

I have to dig the kit out and take a look.

Fantastic progress: front office looks so good and you're now already up to priming, which looks smooth as silk.

Coming along pretty well Peter. 🙂

There is a bit of a fit issue I will have to address.

LOL Pretty slick alright! I really like that Xtracolor as it always sprays nice and smooth. Plus, being glossy, there is no need for a overcoat of clear gloss. 😀
