Here
is my 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf110 G4/R3 from Revell. The scheme I chose is from the
CED48045 decal sheet “Bf 110G Part 1” from Cutting
Edge. This aircraft was assigned to 4/NJG3, Norway and carried a FuG 220
SN-2b radar.

It
is a very detailed kit, although I found some annoying fit flaws that required
some extra time to be fixed; in my opinion, the cockpit is so detailed that it
doesn’t require any after-market set. Thus,
I built this complex kit just out of the box, except for: CE decals, Eduard
photo etched seatbelts, scratch built blind-landing antenna made from styrene
and wire, scratch built windscreen-washer pipe made from wire.
Also,
guns and exhaust dampers were hollowed out and two styrene stripes were
applied to try matching the SN-2b radar array: maybe not perfect, but
better than nothing!
The
camouflage scheme is a typical RLM 74/75/76 on upper surfaces, 75/70
mottling on fuselage sides and some RLM 70 heavy mottling on both the
vertical tails.
Photos
were taken with a Panasonic digital camera.
