bcauchi Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I am posting this work from way back in 2010, some of the stuff I have been doing since I stopped posting my work on LSP for various reasons, mostly lack of time. If this is inappropriate just let me know and I will stop since this is not exactly a work in progress but someone might save on research by seeing what i did to these two kits. One is the Dragon C-7 which is near perfect and only required minor additions. The other is the old Revell model, whatever mark that was supposed to be, which was converted with lots of scratchbuilding into a G4. These models portray the aircraft flown by Wolfgang Falck and Martin Drewes respectively, two great men whom I was lucky enough to communicate with. They therefore have special meaning for me. Well here goes. Although i worked in parallel on these two birds, since the Revell model was the one requiring major work, it is the one which features most in the following process. Here goes. This is the reworked cockpit floor from the kit.cockpit sidesTwin rear gun ammo containerFrame for twin radio operator/rear gunner seatsRight hand side ammo container for twin schrage musik cannon Left hand side ammo container for the 20mm including the oxygen regulator and instrument panel with oxygen pressure gauge and indicator. Combo twin seat for radio operator/rear gunner. One was made of netting and the other from woven fabric strips, not the most comfortable ride it seems. i made the netting from surgical gauze and the woven strips from masking tape. The belts were individually made from masking tape and buckles. all the above sub assemblies placed in the cockpit. the cockpit starts to look busy now. More progress with my next update where work starts on the instrument panel and other equipment in the cockpit.

Out2gtcha Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes lovely work for sure. No reason what so ever I can see that this would be inappropriate. AAMOF, I think those with the Revell kit could learn a LOT in a thread like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar one planned for my Revell G kit, though I have a stack of aftermarket for it. I'll definitely be following your build closely!

mozart Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 You can never have too many Bf110s, so two in one go is a real treat. Interesting work Brian, the gunner/Bordfunker seat is especially good! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcauchi Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Next up are the scratchbuilt schrage musik twin 20mm cannon. I used the extra drum magazines from the Dragon kit to compliment these guns. You can see them compared to the kit part from the Dragon kit which is obviously the grey part. seat structure comes together Twin rear mg's resin With ammo belts Next up will be the corrections required to the fuselage shape which is notally off and needs to be corrected.
