Dragon Bf 110D-3

[Guest]

yay! another update- the nose machine gun assembly was blasted annoying! the instructions were not clear and I glued the wrong part......... oh well- I managed to fix it up and make it look decent by the end. The nose machine guns were fairly hard to align with the holes and that made it even worse. The gas tanks under the machine guns were meant to be painted blue but it is one of the worst colors for density- along with yellow and white.

lol personally I hate the paint job at the gas tanks that were meant to be painted blue. My new hated colour for models is now blue because it`s density is so bad. It does not make a big difference anyway, because the actual machine gun assembly is not seen except for the muzzles of the guns. thanks anyway for the feedback

John that is some fantastic work with the hairy stick, I love to see a detailed cockpit painted with a brush and that is some fine work

What scale is the kit?

Hi Alan good to see you like my paint job. sorry about not posting the scale- it is a 1:32 Dragon Bf 110D-3. That is why it is possible to paint in so much detail.

Sorry about no updates so far- I've lost my camera lol But I have nearly finished masking the canopy. Although detailed, the canopy is extremely hard to put together

Curious: what are you masking your canopies with? And are there advantages over using e.g. Tamiya tape like I've been using?

Hi Alasdair,

I use a flexible type of average masking tape which does its job very well. I guess Tamiya masking tape would be great as well but for a roll of tape, it is pretty expensive! I use the cheaper alternative which has worked fine for me as it has caused no problems for me so far. But if you are using Tamiya Tape, keep on using it. It is great and does its job perfectly well.

Sorry everyone, I have to leave Australia for a year and I will not be on the forum for a year. But I will be back eventually...

Safe travels John, see you when you get back.

[ojays]

All the best for your travels, and look forward to seing you back.

A little advice about the masking tape.

Don't leave it on for the next year, you will never be able to remove it when you get back.

Been there, done that, didn't work.
