discussion Eduard 1/72 Bf110E, completed

[Andy T]

Some of you may have seen the wrestle I had with the 1/48 version of this aircraft but I'm pleased to say that the 1/72 was a very different, and decidedly more enjoyable, experience.

I'm still not fully happy with my weathering efforts, it's something I need to work on to get more realistic results, but despite that I'm very happy with the overall look.

Thanks to everyone who followed the build and especially those that commented or reacted.

















And a couple with its big brother:

 

[Jim R]

I really like that Andy. Great paint job and a lot of masking on that canopy.

 

[stillp]

Really well done Andy.
Pete

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Yep, it's a cracking build that Andy
What a lovely looking plane eh?..... As Jim said,the canopy has come out great, I'm not sure what part of the weathering you're not happy with... I can't see anything amiss :thumb2:.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Superb job. If you showed those individually you’d be hard pressed to tell which was 1/72 and which was 1/48. Wonderful finishing on both.

 

[Mark1]

A nice result.

 

[JayCee]

Very nice, Andy. The pair go very well together.
John.

 

[Mickc1440]

That's a smaller beauty

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Superb job. If you showed those individually you’d be hard pressed to tell which was 1/72 and which was 1/48. Wonderful finishing on both.

I totally agree. Superb job

Well worthy of admiration Andy :thumb2:

[Andy T]

Thanks so much gents.

A few, including Tim, urged me not to judge Eduard on the 1/48 kit and you were bang right. The 1/72 was a joy to build by comparison and I'm sure I'll be building more of their kits. After checking the reviews first! :tears-of-joy:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Their zero is one of the best kits I’ve ever made if that helps Andy….

 

[papa 695]

Great work Andy a lovely build.

 

[Steven000]

Lovely models Andy, nice work :thumb2:
Cheers

 

[minitnkr]

Just excellent work on both.

 

[Miko]

Very accomplished build, most impressive

If you build a 1/144 Bf110 you could mount them on the wall like the ducks on Hilda Ogdens 'muriel'! Ha!

Miko (maybe wide of the mark with this cultural reference?)

I think your being to hard on yourself the weathering looks spot on.

Not THAT far wide Miko...

:tongue-out2:
(Sorry Andy!)

 

[Andy T]

Thanks again everyone, I'm glad you like it.
