Post by: Aircav on March 15, 2010, 07:09:37 AM
Hi
Has anyone got an old unbuild 1/72 Matchbox Messerschmitt Bf110 that they don't have a need of ?, looking for one for a BoB project.
Thanks
Steve
ps, will pay drinking vouchers for it or swap something.  ;D

Matchbox is preferred Chris but anything other that the Revell or Airfix version would do I suppose.  ;D

Steve, I've got a 1/72 Fujimi Bf110C, if you're interested.  I would be willing to trade, particularly if you have any 1/72 aircraft or 1/72 armor that strike my fancy.  But I"m not opposed to drinking vouchers either.

I'm in GA, USA.

The Revell one - the E model - is the old Monogram tooling and was always regarded as being relatively accurate.  The G is the old Frog one and that's...  Well, it's a Frog kit and we'll leave it at that.

Failing that, I've a part built Fujimi kit that you're welcome to.

It's a late 60s tool but is still a nice kit.  I've an article somewhere that says you can get a very accurate 110 by cross kitting it with the Fujimi kit.
