Your technique of highlighting the details in the cockpit and rear compartment just really pop Pedro. The BF-110 has always been an intriguing twin engine fast light bomber/heavy fighter/night fighter. Quite versatile, though somehow Goering hated it. Too bad for him. I only have the decent but old 1/48th Fujimi BF-110D with all the goodies to enhance it and a Pro Modeler BF-110G Night Fighter, which is the only build I have on the shelf of the 110 and thats it. I don't know about the plastic in the kit is it home grown Eduard's or molded by some one else? What is interesting seeing your work Pedro. Quite fascinating seeing some of your ways of doing things. Looking forward to the rest of this project. But I do need to pick up another 110.

Thank you for the feedback gentlemen, very timely and welcome.

Chuck, the Eduard line of bf.110 are all home brewed, and this kit is one of their earliest truly mainstream mould (if not the first?!), so it’s kinda outdated when one compares it to their latest releases, like the Spitfire, Tempest or the Fw190. Still it’s better than the Fujimi kit (believe it was reissued again by Italeri) and as good as the Monogram/Revell 110, but this one only for the late G variants, not these early C, D and E versions. The full cockpit will hopefully look good, lets see how it turns...

Louis, I probably missed those Avengers build, but much like you say I also found the tiny decals very handy and they do look accurate. Also used in this model are Airscale placards which add also some extra convincing detail to the whole thing. Thanks for keeping an eye on this thread mate!

Looking good Pedro, nicely detailed !

Little baby steps here...the full bathtub is almost there, all that is missing (still not painted and weathered that is) are the control stick and the gunner main seat. Everything else is complete but not yet assembled. The dry fit of the fuselage halves shows a decent fit and with a cup of carefulness it will need little or no putty to get it good.

The cockpit is completed at least for this stage. Some details will only be added when the glass house is applied. Fuselage glued and drying. Some areas will need putty but nothing too serious me thinks.

My attentions is already turned to the two piece nose. Since I’m building it closed no interior parts will be used. Very noticeable and perhaps the most glaring missing detail of the kit are the blast tubes framing inside the lower nose part. You can see what I mean by comparing the raw part with the same part I modified on an older tentative build of this kit. The round shapes were made with evergreen tubes cut and shaped to fit...now where exactly did I stored those?! Thanks for watching

Thank you Louis @ lgardner

Adding some half sliced evergreen tube is a very easy fix of that missing detail. To be honest I don’t think I came up with that solution when I first tackled this same kit back in 2011/12 or so. Believe I read it somewhere and it worked real easy.

The cockpit really takes up a lot of time if one wishes to get it done at its best, but then again all eyes will peep to the large greenhouse this fighter has, so it’s time we’ll spent. The only area where I know trouble awaits is the fitting of the engine nacelles to the wings, their fit is just terrible, worst than the nose pieces which aren’t that great either.

Looking forward for some inspirational work on that Liberator my friend

It’s finally starting to take a familiar (and rather creepy) look. Wings and elevators assembled, with the right angles

Fairly large gaps occurred in the wing joints so I added some plastic sheet strips and will add Mr Surface 500 still. Since the angles match the fuselage I’m pretty confident that when it’s done no one Can tell there were gaps there.

As you can see the engine nacelles are also prone to gaps with the added problem if uneven surface match. The cure for this will be adding some plastic bits to level them up and also strips of plastic to fill gaps

Sanding and some more sanding is almost here, and this is the part of our hobby that really doesn’t thrill me a bit... Bet I’m not alone with this

You have definitely made some wonderful progress. It seems that once the fuselage was completed, it really goes together fast. The cockpit looks very realistic, even more so now that it's all assembled together. Those details on the wheel wells are also nice ! Very nice indeed... and I'm not a big fan of sanding either. My favorite part, besides the research, is adding the decals and final little bits at the end. You are hitting a home run with this one... Knocking the ball right out of the park. Well done !
