Administrators James H Posted March 30, 2013 Administrators Posted March 30, 2013 Hi all, I did this kit on the back of the Bf 110C instrument panel I completed for the Messerschmitt GB, but this isn't part of that GB. I just built this for the hell of it. Great little kit, but maybe not quite as much fun for me as the 110 panel. Hope you like it: 4
Grant Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 That's outstanding Jim ! I'm jealous as hell as I STILL haven't got past the cleaning up stage. PS: What did you prime with ??
Administrators James H Posted March 30, 2013 Author Administrators Posted March 30, 2013 Prime? I don't do that Unless it's a bright colour I'm working with, such as the blue on my Pfalz fuselage. @ Martin: Glad you like them. They were both a joy to build.
One-Oh-Four Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Very good! It even answered some questions I had on how to model bits on my 1/32 Bf 109E! 1
One-Oh-Four Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Oh James, if you don't mind me saying: Looking at the pics it looks like the lower right instrument-rim ( temperature) is blue? That should be green. The right side of the rim of the instrument next to the u/c lock/unlock lights should be brown. That's because the Germans used colour-coding for their fluid-lines and the accompanying instruments. Yellow: fuel, Brown: oil, Green: coolant, Blue: air/oxygen. Maybe the colours just look somewhat off because of the white-balance of the camera? In that case; Sooo sorry, sahib! In any case a terrific build, I saw one at Heiden, but find yours better finished!

In any case a terrific build, I saw one at Heiden, but find yours better finished! You're probably right. Every picture I saw, whether online or in my books showing period and contemporary pictures, seemed to have different coloured ensembles. In the end, I went with a line of loose fit. 1
One-Oh-Four Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Looking great, nonetheless, Jim! Cheers, Erik
