Bf 110 Schemes.... I can't Bloody Choose... Help!!

[Dave J]

Its a new year... so time for a new project to build during Lunch at Work... So I going to start on the Bf110 that is one of the models on my New Years Resolution list... But I can't finalize a scheme, I have narrowed it down to four -

 

G9+JM, 4./NJG1, St Trond, France, Feb 1942

 

 

S9+NN, 5./ZG Wespen, Lt. Herbert Kutscha, Russia 1942

 

 

3U+AN, 5./ZG26, Oblt Theodor Rossiwall, Argos, Greece, May-June 1941

 

 

M8+SP, 6./ZG76, Fw Spitzner, Argos, Greece, April 1941

 

 

So what do you guys suggest?

[lawman56]

Honestly, I like to lean towards the somewhat obscure and different. The subdued look to the mouth in the G9/JM bird catches my eye. Subtle, yet mean looking.

How can you go past S9+NN?

How can you go past S9+NN?

 

I know! But those Greek based 110's are colourful... and G9+JM with the "Naval" RLM 72 on Black RLM 22 and the Teeth... so different from all other theatres that 110 served in!

 

Now can you see my dilemma?

[harvey boyer]

I like 2 and 3...Harv

[Daywalker]

Vote added for #2!

[Mikester]

G9+JM all the way!

[nmayhew]

2 or 4 for me

 

You know they now have an E-2 Trop version out?

 

Just hasn't hit the UK yet

 

I have the Vasco ref book on the 110 which is the business on all early versions of this bird, so let me know if you need anything Dave

 

If you have any tech questions about the plane or markings John Vasco is your man though - he is a member here I believe

 

Cheers

Voted! Option 2 for me

[The Red Baron]

You could build two you know...

[Ssasho0]

A guy on my local forum finished a Bf110 in the second option and believe me it look absolutely gorgeous!
Still I would like to see a different camo scheme now, so I voted for option #1. Selfish I know :-P

[repeater]

How can you go past S9+NN?

Agreed!

[Matt_]

Scheme one for me... though two comes a very close second...

[Fran]

Option one!!

[GUY5Y]

#2...go for it!

[PAnderson]

Option #2 for me. You could build 4 you know. On your lunch hour.

I like the yellow nose and cowls and red codes of number 3.

I like any of them, so I'm no help there.  I recently did a full "review" build (on another site that provided the kit) which may be helpful

Thanks for that link Doug. That will prove amazingly useful. I'm also building the Bf 110 at the same time as Dave, for MIM magazine.

[Dave J]

Cheers Doug! I will have a good read of that
