Bf110C/D is on order now. Although I received a message this morning saying the order was delayed.

I have e-mail reminders via a model shop site for when the 110E and new tool Spit I hit the shelves.

This beauty arrived this morning!

If you haven't seen it there's a marvellous In-box review here:
http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.o ... 20437.html

If there's no objection I'd like to build this for the BoB 70th GB and include it in my thread there.

Here's the 110, which most of you have seen already:

Two new Spits are on their way and should be with me mid-week

This is not going to be an exhaustive review, mainly because I was so delighted to get my mitts on it taking photos wasn't a priority!
Image

Pre-assembly painting:
Image

That marvellous little 'Office':
Image

Image

This is about the best representation I've seen in 1/72.

Wings, fuselage, and prop:
Image

The prop spinner looks more like that of a Hurricane De Havilland. It's definitely more pointed than the one on 01071.

Main assembly complete:
Image

An absolutely lovely tight fit at the wing roots.

First coat of paint:
Image

The engraved lines seem a little more refined than on the previous new moulds.

Ready for decalling:

Getting the canopy on isn't easy at all, the fit is very tight!

I've overpainted the serial decal to depict the aircraft as shown in that oft reproduced photo.
