That literally is a production line!

Wings are finished up...
The G's have a different style wingtip and nav lights. I cut away the molded in "lights" and replaced em with clear sprue.
I flattened one side, and drilled shallow holes, which were filled with clear green/red.
Rivets...lots and lots of rivets!
I screwed up a little bit. I figured I'd do one exposed engine on the left, and do the right on another plane. The a/m set is designed to be on the left. Not a huge deal, just a little trimming on the bulkhead to make it fit the right side, and I had to cut the rear panel section from the kit parts, rather than use the resin.
Pits will be next!!!!

Your work is just... honestly... staggering... in 1/72.
I felt this way from the first time I saw some early builds of yours again in 1/72 with beautiful engine detail... and lo, it begins again!

Re: 1/72 Bf 110 factory WIP
Thanks all!
Can't believe it's been almost a month already! Winter is supposed to be model time! I've been super busy, remodeling and repairing the house my Dad grew up in (Grampa built). Long story, short...my bro and family lived there for the last ten years. Way too much drama to type out...parents kicked him out...the place was a "mess", to put it mildly. I've been fixing it up, so it can be used as a weekend rental.
Anyway...the important stuff!
Finally managed to get the G pits mostly done. There's a bit more to do for them, but that'll be later on, just before the canopies go on.
Due to the serious lack of bench time...I'm going to carry on with just the G's, and set the earlier versions aside for now.
