discussion Eduard 1/72 Bf110E

[Andy T]

After a rough ride with the 1/48 version of this I decided to give the smaller scaled one a go.

So far, so good. Obviously there are less parts and less detail but the fit is much better than it's larger cousin.



Being the profipack there is a fair bit of PE included, like these tiny pedals



After some paint, adding the coloured etch parts, and a bit of weathering, it's just about ready for the fuselage to be closed up:

And a couple before I close it up and hide most of this forever :smiling5:

Superb cockpit andy , thats a lot of detail for 1/72 , painted up brilliantly. Hope this one doesnt give you as much grief as the 1/48 , cheers tony

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Tony. So far it's going together much better than the 1/48.

 

[Jim R]

Amazingly detailed for 1/72. Very neatly put together.

 

[minitnkr]

Beautifully done. Impressive.

 

[Waspie]

Nice work Andy. Heck of a lot of detail for such a small scale!!!

 

[Andy T]

Thank you gents.

I've spent a bit too much time working on the new model room today instead of in it but the fuselage is closed up and the seams have been sanded & rescribed.

 

[Si Benson]

Most excellent paint work Andy, even more impressive at the scale!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Cockpit looks superb. Really belies the scale. That’s crisper than some 1/32s.

 

[Andy T]

Thank you both very much. I guess I have the space to finally tackle a 1/32 but there's just something about these smaller scale planes that I like.

 

[Tworrs]

That is coming on to be an amazing model Andy

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Garry

The wings went on last night. The inevitable bit of sanding is needed on the leading edge but the general fit is very good.

 

[JayCee]

This is coming on very nice, Andy. I built the Eduard 110 in 1/72 a number of years ago, ( 75th BoB anniversary ), it was reckoned to be the best kit available at the time. I remember it went together very well.
John.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks John. Yes, it's going together great so far.

The nacelles fitted much better than the 1/48 version and the main airframe construction is now finished, just a bit of tidying to do.

 

[Guest]

Andy looks brilliant in the office, :thumb2:.

You see why with it being so small I don't do them !

 

[Andy T]

I'm back onto this one. Construction is now complete and everything is mounted ready for primer.

Not looking forward to masking the canopy :smiling5:



The carpet monster has claimed its first sacrifice in the new room. The tiny PE antennas that fit under the fuselage

 

[Andy T]

Canopy parts are masked up and skewered ready for roasting painting, and the rest of the parts are in primer

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Missed this completely until now Andy!
That looks Soooo much better a kit than the 1/48 one you did, that cockpit looks incredible mate,fantastic work , looking forward to watching the rest of the build :thumb2:.

 

[Andy T]

Cheers Andy. I'm actually enjoying this rather than just plodding through like it's big brother :tears-of-joy:

Day off today so will hopefully be cracking on with the paint. I'm running low on these colours but luckily it won't need a lot!
