IainM Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Finally, here's my Dragon 1/32 Bf110C-3 Night Fighter (modified from the C-7 kit). Build represents a/c 235-5, 235° Squadriglia, 60° Gruppo, 41° Stormo Intercettori at Lonate Pozzolo airbase, Spring 1943 Build thread can be found here Many thanks to all who helped along the way, but especially to John Vasco himself who guided me along the precarious tightrope regarding the subtleties in the variant differences of the Bf110. Quite a bit I would have been very unaware of and wouldn't have modded without his help. The C-3 is a very interesting beast to say the least. Thanks for looking...on to the next one!

Greif8 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I can only echo Tom, Kevin's and Mike's comments - beautiful work and a top shelf result Iain! The camo is a rare one for night fighters and really sets your build apart. I have a C-7 kit in the stash and also plan to convert it to a night-fighter. My youngest great-uncle served as a radio/radar operator on both 110's and 88's in NJG's 2 and 5 and the build will honor his service. Hopefully mine will turn out as well as yours!

Rod Thanks Rod. Yes, although she fought me and my skills a bit, I love the 110 as an aircraft. Highly enjoyable overall 5 hours ago, Knightofthesky said: It's a beauty! Danke sehr aufmerksam!

Madmax Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi Iain, Been meaning to comment on this for a while, but took a bit of a break just as you got this one across the line. The result is spectacular: fine model building skills, excellent paintwork and some well considered weathering. The photo's do it justice too!

mozart Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Another stunningly beautiful Bf110 Iain, she really is a cracker. Many congratulations on a very fine build, and you’ve presented her very well with the black background. IainM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
