Thanks Gator!
The painting of the upper surfaces has started, RLM 75 has been sprayed on the wings and tail plane. I did a bit more fading of the RLM 75 than I would normally do, the aircraft I am modeling had pretty worn looking paint on it and maybe even had some re-painting here and there.
Next I will paint on the RLM 74 to complete the camouflage on the wings.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Paul,
The markings I chose for the 110 is < G9+DC, I am using Aeromaster decals and the instructions claim the aircraft was flown by II./NJG 7 but my Kagero book on the Bf 110 claims this same aircraft was used by II./NJG 1, I think the Kagero book is correct.
Today the RLM 74 segments were sprayed on the wings and I will wait until tomorrow to decide how much paint fading I might need to do on the RLM 74.
Also done today was assembly and painting of the flame dampers, while I had the airbrush out I went ahead and weathered them too.
If the weather improves tomorrow I should get some new in-progress pictures.

I finished painting on the camouflage pattern on the wings and tail plane and also did some paint fading of the RLM 74.
The wheels have been painted and weathered.
The exhaust flame dampers were also painted and weathered but the weathering can't be seen in this picture.
The propellers are seen here during a dry fit.

Christian,
I don't think the flame dampers ever got to the point to where they glowed but no doubt they were very hot while the engines were running.
The basic camouflage for the 110 was finished up this morning, between the 109 and this model I spent about two hours airbrushing but the funny thing is it only felt like 20 minutes or under...when a job like this seems like time disappeared you know it was fun.
The RLM 74 was painted on to complete the camouflage pattern and I used the airbrush to add some sun fading and wear and tear, it looks overdone at the moment but after the markings and clear coat are on the model it will not be that noticeable.
