    **** DONE: Matchbox 1/72 Bf110 VVS group build

    Username Magnu
    Name Lewis
    Category Intermediate
    Maker Matchbox
    Scale 1/72
    Extras Some attempted scratchbuilding
    Reference What I can find off the net

    I intend to do this one as Bf 110 D-2 of II/ZG1 Westpen G9+TC
    as illustrated on the box. I have also ordered an Airfix Bf110 C which I will also do as a Westpen machine so will use that one as a guide to improve the cockpit and gear bays on this build.

    Good one. Andy (Crimea River) has been working on a 1/48th '110 from Wespen - might be some helpful pics in his thread.

    Great choice Lewis, it's an interesting aircraft.

    Well seeing as the LA 5FN is on hold I decided to make a start on this one. The Airfix Bf110c that I ordered hasn't turned up yet but they did have this one in stock

    Detached the gear bay part and went to work on the plasticard making a rough copy the Airfix part seems to fit quite well at the front but is too wide at the back so will adjust the card in this area

    Wheel well part 2 Cut out the indent for the wheel and used thin strip to make the wall round it then an oversized bit on top, filed fiddled and fettled at the rear wall until it fitted, a bit of hydraulic line and connection and I now have one of the two done

    Looking good. Have you fitted it to the legs of the model landing gear?

    Not had time but I will see what the fit is like tonight. may even be able to adjust the fit so the gear leg gets the correct forward angle on it.
