Pastor John Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi everyone I am happy to announce that in the New Year I will have a 1/32 Bf 110 G-2/R1 conversion. I have finished all the decal work and it has gone off to the printers and the 3D modelling is going on very well and I will show 3D renders as and when I have them. 1/32 conversion will include decals, resin parts, Shatton Bau barrel, photo- etch and vac form canopy (clear resin available as a separate purchase) - altogether a very big comprehensive set similar to my G-4 conversion. For now here is the preview of the decals and their profiles. Thanks for looking, John nmayhew, thierry laurent, Rockie Yarwood and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Here! I take a set! As for the small red markings some spelling corrections from a native speaker: Die Federhülse des Verschlußvorholers am Verschluß entkuppeln Schließe Füllvorrichtung FD 2 an den Preßluftaußenbordanschluß an und fülle Preßluftflaschen mit 150 atü auf It is just the capital letters at the beginning of the nouns (or the sentence) and the two points above the "ue" umlauts (mutatde vowels), some very own particularities of the German language. I also think that the phrase (Abb.) was only in the manual and not painted onto the aircraft, because Abb. is the german abbreviation for illustration. Nice work so far Regards - dutik Rockie Yarwood, Out2gtcha, D.B. Andrus and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 BTW, do you have the large tailwheel to offer? I have a C variant for the conversion, which features just the early small tail wheel. AFAIK there is no AM tire set with the large tailwheel on the market so far. Only resin main tires. Regards - dutik Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chukw Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Will you include the nitrous oxide booster equipment? Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks for feedback - I will remove the Abb. I am not familiar with the nitrous booster equipment - please email me at aimsmodels1@gmail.com but basically if it is not an external feature or viable in the cockpit the answer is no, thanks again nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well, AFAIK there are no known photos of the nitrous booster equipment of the 110, just some written descriptions elsewhere (manuals or crew memoires). It was at the rear cockpit and replaced the rear gunners place, occupying the room up to the wireless operators seat. But the real look and size of the GM tank is unknown today. So everybody here is on it's own to scratchbuild this device if required. Regards - dutik chukw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Odd that it was in the rear as the R3 required the removal of the upper nose weapons and so I assumed it was in there in their place? Anyway all my options have weapons in the nose and so it is not on my list of things to tick off for this big conversion. as for large tail wheels - as in my G-4 conversion - as per anything I do just call for a single part and I supply what ever you need - but no I will not cut up a decal sheet to give one of the options - yes somebody did actually have the cheek to ask that once! Tail wheel - no problem! But as things are I am going down hill at a rapid pace and the ambulance is coming in next couple of days to test me for the virus so tail wheel will have to wait.

dutik Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Not so good news... Please take care of yourself! I think the removal of the nose weapons might have been a weight saving measure to compensate for the extra weight of the booster pack. As for the tailwheel: I'll simple put it on the list when buying the G2 set. Best wishes! - dutik Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor John Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi guys as I sit here waiting for ambulance to arrive so can get tested here are the latest 3D renders for AIMS 1/32 Bf 110 G-2/R1 conversion and 1/48 and 1/72 Eduard kit updates. Everything is coming along nicely thanks to the amazing work of Ottó Józsa, just need to re-shape metal boot around gun barrel - enjoy! Just the ammo clips, GM-1 tank (no photos to go on just basic shape from factory drawing inside Ju 88 S-1 bomb-bay) and some PE parts left to design. Thanks and stay safe.

Kagemusha Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Very impressive, and some. Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrotten Highlander Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Perdon my ignorance, but what would be the basis kit for the conversion? Just asking so I can source the kit at the same time as getting the conversion. Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
