Waiting on the paint to arrive in the post. Then I can get back to the 410. Dark Brown and really light green are not colours I often see with Luft birds.

Well the decals are on a oil panel wash done. Need to get the legs, wheels and doors on not to mention the antanne on the front end then just need to matt it down I think I might get this finished within the next week barring anything else that crops up

Hi all,

I have finished painting the cockpit parts on my Dragon Messerschmitt Bf110C-7 1/32. See my updated build thread here:
my build thread

Cheers,
Kenneth

I have been waiting since May for a set of barrels for my Bf-110 but none have turned up. I think three months is long enough so I am getting back into the build as soon as I finish my other builds.. not sure if I will make it or not..

Hi,

I have added an update to my Dragon Zerstörer build thread:

my build thread

Cheers

Wooooo I am calling this finished

Nice build, Sam. You did a good job on the night figther scheme.

Thanks for participating

1) Would you look at the size of that thing!!!

2) Absolutely awesome work, as good a cockpit as I have ever seen.

I have finally started on my build, which will be the Dragon 1/48 Ju 88C-6. The box actually says "Zerstörer", in case there was any doubt this aircraft is qualified for the campaign!



Haven't gotten far yet. avoided the classic fit problems of the wing tips by attaching the the the wing halves first instead after wing main assembly as the instructions dictate



Anyone know of a good reference showing the front of the C-6 cockpit area? I think at least one of the cannons protruded into the crew area, but not really sure.

Huumm, i think so also, but not necesserly a cannon, most probably the MGs.
Time to rainsack the books

Great choice by the way!
If you're considering any aftermarket stuff, i can recommend without doubts Quickboost spinners and also CMKs new set on those seats...both vast improvements

Cheers

Pedro

thanks Pedro!

Hi all, time for an update.

Kenneth, I've been following your build thread, beautiful work on the big 110, very impressive interior.

Sam, congrats on finishing a really nice little Uhu, the camo (sorry) came up very nice indeed.

Vance, welcome aboard sir, and thanks for joining in. I'm looking forward to watching your progress on the '88.

I have updated the Roll Call and Build Status log on page 1. Please take a look at the overview of the campaign so far, it's very impressive (except for yours truly )

Keep up the great work and lots of progress pics please !

Cheers, D

My Pics are in the gallery, really enjoyed this campaign. There is some excellent work. Great job folks.

Congrats on getting finished Kevin, and what a great build as well ! The mottling came up really well and the weathering finishes things off perfectly. Those exhaust stains are really nicely done, what paint mix did you use ?

Thanks for joining in and sharing your work.

Cheers, D

Thanks. The exhaust stains were done using MM Acryl Black, MM Acryl Matt Clear, and Testor Airbrush thinner, all in about equal amounts, then airbrush at low air pressure. After initial coat, I added a little medium grey and when over it again.

I have to say I am very impressed by all the work done in this campaign, there are a lot of GREAT looking builds.

Well, after a 2 month 'Vacation' from building and 2 weeks of no camera, thiings are moving and I've got an update. Painting has begun on the mossie and I'll probably shoot the DG tonight.

Hello everybody!

Finally managed some time on the workbench and also to take some photos.
So here goes an update of both Bf 110...

Pedro, those 110's are coming along nicely.

Over here in Mossie land, I discovered I'd oopsed on the paint, that Ocean Grey should be Medium Sea Grey. Thankfully I hadn't shot the Dark Green yet, so it's off to the spray booth again to shoot some MSG over the OG.

Hey Pedro
Stunning 110's my friend
Adam,love the mossie mate
Keep going boys
Andy

I've finished the Gekko, but I kept forgetting to do update posts so here's a brief highlights of the updates. so this will be a picture heavy post

work started on the rusty exhausts. I borrowed a technique from Sam (who borrowed it from the armour guys) and hoped that it would work for this scale first you need the parts to be rusted.



The the following. Black oil paint, Mig Pigments Standard Rust and Soot, a brush, something to collect the pigments in and some thinners for cleaning up afterwards.



next paint the parts for rusting with the black oil paint. don't thin it as wee need some of the roughness.



Then dust on the Mig pigments, I added a little bit of the soot to the rust to darken it down.



and I added more soot to the exhaust apertures



the exhausts, cowling and fuel tanks were added and the masking removed after a coat of dull coat was applied





Salt weathering was done to the props, the bombs painted, and the undercarriage legs had some brake lines added.and al were give an oil wash of Paynes Grey









and last but not least the final touches were added and canopies and door put in place.

And finally pictures of the finished plane

































As always comments, suggestions and critique is always welcomed

I really enjoyed this campaign and I learnt several new techniques along the way. Thanks for a great campaign but now I must leave and move onto the next one

Awesome job Allen. You should be proud of your finished build, and thanks for sharing your methods with the salt-chipping and exhausts. They are both really clear and informative.

Congrats, and thanks for joining in.

Cheers, D

Thanks for your encouragement Andy and Adam!

Really hope that any of these 110 can at least stand proud next to your Mossies

Cheers
Pedro

What a beautifully battered Gekko

Finally got the underside painted on the 410. Has taken forever. Truth be told I have always struggled with airbrushes. I paint with them fine, not great but fine, but always seem to have problems with them. Nearly always to do with paint flow. The PSI is fine but no where near enough paint comes out. At full back which is max air and paint a fair amount should be coming. I have to do that to get enough paint to come and even then the 410 took 10 minutes to do. Which is a acceptable time but not on a max air max paint position. Must be a blockage or something else going on. I stripped it down and its soaking at the moment.
