This will be my build thread for the Eduard Me-110E=mc2, err no thats not right, bF110e, ahh thats close enough .
Well as we nearly all bought the 110 at some point, I thought I would start mine.
Starting in the cockpit as usual, the build sequence is pretty logical, but the parts are numerous and tiny. The detail is pretty good though and well worth the effort.
This is definitely not going to be a speed build as the cockpit and rear gunner station has taken me two days, two days for sake, I could have built a kit by now .
Anyhoo, here are some pics,

Looking good Andy, I was going to start mine but I really do want to try and get my work collegues Dambuster Lanc done, before we break up for Christmas.
Do you still want masks for your mE 110, or what ever it is?

Mal

Looking good Andy, I like your cockpit detail great wook.

Ciao

Thats looking good Andy.

i was going to start mine this weekend, but may wait to see how yours progresses.

Andy

Yes please Mal, the Iraqi version.


Its a quite complex kit, what with the small parts, even smaller P.E bits and not one for the beginner.
I'm working on the forward gun-bay at the moment, so I'll post some pics later (footie permitting ).
i have been using White Ensign Models Colourcoats Luftwaffe range for the painting, lovely paints, brushed or sprayed.

Looking good Andy.
This must be your longest build yet!
I'll be starting mine,,,err,,,ummm,,,ahh,,,

Hi Nige,
I reckon a good couple of weeks untill I see the light of day on this one.
Have you bought one then, you kept that quiet if you have .
Anyhoo, moving onto the forward gun-bay presents a couple of fit issues. The floor of the gun-bay fits into two slots inside the nose cone, but there is a big gap either side, which if left makes it impossible to fit the nose onto the front of the fuselage. A set of clamps squeezes it all together for a better fit. I also cut of the "lip" that runs around the inside of the nose so it fits flush. The whole nose section is a pain to fit "true" without leaving gaps, so some filler and sanding will be necessary .

The fuselage is now together and a little seam work is required. The fuselage is a little tricky to put together, because of the tightness of the cockpit, so dry-fitting several times is a must.

I will be building the wing undercarriage bays and nacelles next.
