Erwin Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I shall build the old Revell 110 G-4 as "dayfighter" by not using the antenna's. Not a correct version ,I know. But it's all about the "overall look" for me. Edited January 12, 2019 by Erwin BradG, Daniel460, kkarlsen and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It could be correct Erwin, Martin Drewes had both a day (sans antennae) and night version of his Bf110! Erwin and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Pretty sure the G was used as a day fighter too, so no worries Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Look forward to it Erwin - as others' have said, not all were night fighters! I'll check my refs as I might be able to help with schemes Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to do something I've never done before that leaves only the national insignia visible.

Erwin Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) First start. Parts cleaning and joining the wings to the fuselage with small screws to get a firm fix. This is a simple kit.So building it won't take months to do. Edited January 2, 2019 by Erwin BradG, Shawn M, AlexM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) The main build is done.The fit wasn't that bad for an oldie. Some filler needed.Not that much. Still more work on the LG,cockpit and clear parts. My next Me 110 (new Revell) will take longer to build. Already primed with yellow identifications.

Shawn M Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 ahh yes, the kit that started my infatuation with the '110 nice quick work Erwin Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) The final paint work will cover all. So it does't really matter which colour I used.I could have used dark green too.. And it didn't even have to be perfect. This is a mix of 50/50% matt and satin dark grey.Painted by brush. The underside will be the usual light blue.

Erwin Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Anno October 1943. Luftwaffe directive nr 256: All aircraft on the Eastern front must be painted overall white,by whatever sort of paint and tools available. The balkenkreuzen,swastika's and yellow identifications are to be left unpainted.

Erwin Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I'm calling this one finished. It wasn't my intention to make this build so fast to be first in the gallery. It's a simple kit ,and I have a lot of spare time. "I'm not a fast builder.I buy kits that don't take long to build". I painted the white by fine brush and imagined myself to be the ground crew with a bucket of white wash and a broom to get the job done in the field.
