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

Beautifully finished joe , I love the newer Airfix kits . Always liked the look of the 110 but the canopy masking gives me the shivers !! Superb paintwork and weathering ,and the photos are brilliantly taken too , cheers tony

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.
