Eduard 1/48 Bf 110C risen from the shelf of procrastination.

I added some bits and bobs. The MLG doors and the PE retraction cables:

 

 

 

 

The remedial work on the silvered decals has both good and bad. The balkenkreutz is finished and awaits a final matte coat:

 

 

Port serial came out well with some minor lifting. I think the final matte coat will sort that out. Starboard side will need another go:

The class in remedial masking and spraying is out and it's not a bad end. Probably indicative that I should have done it this way first! I will give it a matte coat in a day or so and then go forward with weathering and final assembly:

Top save on those decals.

Thanks Bevan,

I have flat coated the retouched markings, added the QB exhausts, sprayed the exhaust stains (a first for me) and completed the gunner's area:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It won't win any awards but will sit nicely in my collection.

Yep, there is always something to learn. Another one on the shelf and on to the next one.

And down to the wire...literally. Ezi line antenna, heat stretched and pierced deflectors, PE and touch ups:

 

 

 

Pencil chipping with water colours and some AK Kerosene and AK Engine oil enamel washes:

 

 

 

QB MG 17's installed in the business end:

 

 

 

Into the cabinet in front of the 1/4 scale Bf 110 panel from the Royal Class boxing:

 

 

Thanks to all that followed and commented.

I like what you have done with the model. I have finished one this year as well. The biggest issue for me is that the main landing gear is so fragile. I have made it also with a extra pin to get it more firm. But it is still wobly, so this one isn't for the shows.

I have got a few left in the stash, so I have to think of what I will do with them.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Arnold,

 

I also have a few in the stash. Now that I have conquered this one, I can build them using the knowledge I gained to make them easier.
