Airfix 172 Messerschmitt BF 110 C Build Review

In this weeks video I'm going to be build reviewing the Airfix 1/72 scale Messerschmitt BF 110C
This is a model kit of the failed twin engine fighter used by the Germans in WW2 later in the war this plane found its niche as a night bomber interceptor to a devastating effect
Overall the model it easy and fairly quick to make, but there are a few bits that let the kit down, adding the guns to the nose is really fiddly and there are a few bits that need clamping and trimming to get them to fit right
oddly the plastic in this kit also seems to be a different type than the type normally used by Airfix as it seems stiffer and thicker than other kits that I have looked at
overall though its a good model of an interesting plane

Nice is that the tan and blue underside scheme?

Another fine result, I am sure some perfectionist will spot the exhausts, but I certainly wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks mate,ah was one of them while building it i never noticed the exhausts and built them both the same :/

[@skalemodelkorner289]

This is a brilliant video! Congrats! I have built the Airfix tropical version which is similar to this and really enjoyed this! Soon I might either get this version, or the Airfix C-2/C-4 version, not sure which one to get though. Great painting on the camouflage!!! 👏👏Cheers, Luca

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks,And why not both?Would complete the set versions wise then?
