Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
I have had a little bit of an enforced break, work always goes a little crazy when everyone starts back after the summer. But have got back to the table and finished off. Finished a little bit of bare metal with a silver pencil, its a bit subtle and I cannot see it in the photos, and used dry...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
Bit more disaster recovery required. I had finished the decals and had decided to use the MRP Exhaust Soot to airbrush some exhaust staining, first time I had tried to do it this way. I sprayed a little wider than I intended and went to clean off the excess, a little nervous having read Barry's...- dave

Some more progress on decaying and some remedial work on the sharks teeth, looking a lot better now and with a little weathering they will look fine.- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
I bit the bullet and tackled the sharks teeth, they look fine from the side; unfortunately there are some gaps underneath. A big part of the issue was the cannon ports on the underside which interfered with positioning. However it is not too bad and i think a little judicious work with a...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
it has finally cooled down a little, so i managed to do a little touching up of the paintwork and get the gloss varnish on, still using Humbrol Clear. I have now started work on the decals, one of the issues with this scheme is they only show it from one side so for the main decals a little...- dave

More progress today, the undercarriage is assembled and painted and the propellers have had the green tip to the boss painted and attached to the aircraft. Frustratingly just after i finished gluing the undercarriage together including the brass replacement i looked down to the floor and...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
Had a bit less time at the bench than usual, made a quick trip over to the UK at the weekend to see my son whilst i still could. Still I managed to get the RLM71 on the top surfaces, and then masked it up for the splinter camouflage and sprayed the RLM70. Was really happy with the result when...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
Yesterday I got the undercoat on, I am still using the Vallejo polyurethane primer, I know a lot of people have had problems and don’t like it but it works for me. Then this morning some quick and dirty black to give a little variation in the top coat. Finally the underside was sprayed RLM65...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
Been a little more progress on the build. The canopy has been glued into place using AK Interactive Wolverine PVA glue, this seems to work a lot better than the Humbrol ClearFix i had been using. The bond seems a lot stronger and certainly held the clear sprue in place while i sanded down to...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
Forgot to say at the beginning which of the 5 options i am building. I decided to go with M8 AC, this Stab II./ZG76 aircraft was shot down on the 4th September 1940 and crashed in the garden of Little Butts Farm, Wadhurst, the crew Oblt. Hermann Weber, adjutant and pilot and Uffz. Max Michel...- dave

More time at the bench today, the filling and sanding has been done and is looking a lot better. I had a little rescribing to do where i had obliterated panel lines. Looking at the pictures i need to do a little more work with the fine sandpaper this afternoon. I also made a start on masking...- dave

On holiday at the moment and my planned Coast to Coast walk in the UK was cancelled, so i am walking alternate days here in Belgium, so did not manage to get anything done yesterday on the bench. Today i started on the wings, glued the two upper surfaces to the lower surface and checked the fit...- dave

Dave’s Bf 110C, Eduard 1/72nd
It is National Day here in Belgium, so have managed a lot of time at the bench today. finished off the cockpit area, adding the printed PE, followed by RLM66 (Vallejo) to kill the raw edges. The ammunition cases were painted with MC216 Dark Iron (Gunze-Sangyo Mr Hobby) once dried this was buffed...- dave

ICM Bf109 F4
This must have been one of my fastest builds ever. Enjoyed the build but it does require careful attention to dry fitting. The undercarriage bay doors were deliberately left off, the aircraft in question had them removed to stop clogging with snow and ice. Bit of fun masking up the three colour...- dave

ICM 1/48 Bf109 F4
Got the decals on this morning, accompanied by one or two choice words. The decals were very fragile and a three of the larger ones broke up on me. The spares were raided for the swastikas on the tail as there were none in the kit. Also not conforming well to the panel lines. I will need to...- dave
