Over the weekend I decided that it would be an above average good idea to start this project. We'll see how that goes.

I typically do not get very invested in my aircraft projects, they are like a break from being serious. Close enough is right enough, so there will not be any rivet counting causing myself stress.

The whole point is to build it your way and enjoy the build.
Interesting in that the rear of the cockpit is RLM02 grey green, while the pilot area is RLM66 black grey.

I got too many projects running in my head and one is dominating my thinking right now. :frantic:

Lookin' forward to this Dave.

This should by good. I had two 110's by Monogram. One was the night fighter and like an idiot I sold them. :bash:

I was digging through some big boxes and ran across the old 1/32 Revell Bf110 Night Fighter with the nose antennas. (all there, unbuilt, no original box) I had forgotten I had it even. I also have the Dragon 1/32 Bf 110 night fighter kit as well.

One wonders if the reputation the Eduard 110 kit has will prove accurate. This should be interesting.

Greg, it was one of the last kits designed by Bill Koster and truly nice!

Which reputation is that?

It is said Eduard 110 kits can be overly trying to assemble. If memory serves, it had to do with the fit of the canopy and windscreen.

Well, There has been some "stuff" so far. The kit was definitely designed to be on display with all of the panels off as none of them fit too well when closed up. I would assume that will extend to the canopy as it is in 250 pieces so it, too, can be left open.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Had the same problem with the Pips Priller 190.

I'll need a Sapper to bridge that gap, lucky I know one.

Sharkmouth · Sunday at 3:07 PM

Sorry Gary! Obviously needed an afternoon nap!

Holly Molly! That's a LOT of parts! I've got an ancient Fujimi 1/48 110 with Koster resin G parts, but I'm not really a 1/48 scale guy, soooo.........

Don't you love Eudards? :frantic:

Some are Eduard and fine while others are Ed's Duds. I learned to keep away from their 'Heavy Retro' which is more like old turds with a make-up kit which one pays a premium for!

Heavens Eagle · Sunday at 9:25 PM

I am waiting on the new 1/32 Hybrid kits that Eduard are coming out with.

For all the money that these companies want for their kits one would think that at least they would get it right!!! Gary S.

Gary (got the name right this time) it all depends on the release. They got super serious during their MiG-21 releases, then their Bf 109 series. Anything before that, you had to read build reviews as some were nice but others challenging. My issue is with their Retro Heavy kits which are crude kits with excellent aftermarket but the price is very high. The Hybrid kits seem to be nice but I don't understand the need for that approach.
