Title: 1/144 Bf-110

Minicraft kit.  The cockpit canopy is odd in various ways 'cos the part was missing from the kit and I had to fabricate one  ~X(

Great job 8) on a tricky model to put together. I gave up on the exhaust pipes IIRC beacuse they simply did not fit.

Cheers chaps.

Yeah, Steve J I thought there was something wrong with them, didn't look 'right'.  In the end they fit where they hit.

Nice one. I got mine of a chap on eBay, but the instructions were for a different 110!

I think the boxes had all broken open and he reboxed them as best he could. If you got yours from the same chap that would explain the missing canopy. But yours is grand anyway.

That was a blow.  I don't remember where it came from. What I did do was e-mail Minicraft in the USA asking to buy a part.  No reply.  Not surprising as likely they originate in China!

Thanks Phil; because of it, it's the only model in the 'collection' with a blue canopy.
