    Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf110E

    Build thread here: https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/for...-e#post1267009

    A reasonably trouble-free build, great fit with a well thought out construction process from Airfix. The only alterations I made were the lower fuselage antennae, and shortened the engine nacelles off the trailing edge flaps.

    Humbrol enamels, varnishes, Ammo Mig exhaust staining, and Vallejo acrylic washes

            Cheers Paul. I think the desert scheme suits the 110.

                  Splendid work Joe. I missed the build totally, but did have a look just now. Top marks for masking the canopy yourself. When I built a 110, I bottled it and bought a mask set.

                    Cheers Colin. It wasn't too bad to mask, most of the glazing is consistently the same size.
