                        Posted by Grant Dalzell on Thursday, January 15, 2015 6:35 PM

                        Hello everybody, this is my latest build, Dragon's 1/32 BF 110D/E which I have done in the E variant.

                        I did it OOB except for some lead wiring here and there. This is a nice kit to build but be warned with the instructions! There are wrong part number call outs and back to front call outs, I found out the hard way! Other than this problem it was a pleasure to build. Decals are cartograf but the common to all variants sheet is extremely small and great care needs to be taken cutting out.

                        I used Tamiya, Vallejo, Italeri acrylics and Gunze Mr Metalizers

                        Phil Flory's grey wash

                        AK Kerosene leaks and stains enamel wash for engines

                        Several coats of Klear

                        And Vallejo polyurethane matte varnish for final coat.

                        I did a full photo build for this as it was for a SIG build, so I  will include links to the pictures at the bottom if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking Yes

                        Hello, Grant - What a fine job you have made of this, truly excellent detail work. Thank you so much for posting it, a pleasure to see yet another great build and interesting subject from you.

                        A question, in the text you mention "kerosene stains," was that a diesel powered airplane? I'm looking forward to your next build. Thanks again.

                        Patrick

                        Beautiful Grant.  The exhaust staining really sets it off.  I was unaware Flory made a grey.  I'll have to get some.

                        Nice Bf 110.  I love the coloring and the exhaust stains are fracking awesome.  Great work.

                        Thank you guys, Patrick, "Kerosene" is the Enamel wash I just used for the staining, It was all I had and looked pretty good for oil and grime on the engine.

                        Very nice! 1/32? That must be huge - what's the wingspan?

                        I'm terrified of doing a black plane because I don't want to tackle making the paint have depth, but yours looks great!

                        The Vallejo paints do they come in all sorts of colours?

                        I thought I saw a U-Tube where a fella built a HE-111 in 1/32nd and he used Vallejo and the colours were awesome not to mention one can use it straight from the bottle!!
