Model Forum / General / Models / March 2004Bf 110 G-4 Exhaust Flame Dampers?
I'm in the process of building the ProModeler Bf 110G-4 nightfighter, and before I attach the exhausts, I have a question. Should the trailing end of the exhaust pipe be drilled out open or left closed? The photo references that I have show views of the front, but nothing from the rear. TIA. Cliff. Jones >Should the trailing end of >the exhaust pipe be drilled out open or left closed? You can open a hole in the center of the pipe certainly. I couldn't find a picture either, I seem to recall louvers on the end of some pipes, the ProMod kit depicts an expansion chamber/reduction pipe affair. hth Keeper (of too much crap) The exhaust stacks them selves end inside a long tube, the long tube should show a hole in both ends  SignatureClaus Gustafsen Strandby Denmark mail me at claus@gustafsen.nu Se my modeling at www.gustafsen.nu > I'm in the process of building the ProModeler Bf 110G-4 nightfighter, and > before I attach the exhausts, I have a question.

Looks nice too :) You can also get a Mauve Bf 110 G4 and get a ton of white metal parts, included in which are a set of exahust dampers also....... They sure worked hard to make that Fujimi kit right.

I've got the ProModler G-4, and an Eduard set specifically for it - 48192. Looks like it includes the damper grills, as well as all the usual goodies. I wouldn't think that any parts made for the Fujimi/Mauve kit would work on the ProModeler one - I had one and got rid of it after hearing about the Fujimi kit being a bit under sized. Looking at the two kits side by side, the Fujimi one is noticably undersized, if the ProModeler is correct. Anyway, I ditched my Fujimi kit and got the Revell G-2 and ProModeler G-4 kits. I'd also recommend grabbing the brass antenna set from Cutting Edge for your G-4...as long as I'm spending your cash...

I think you may be out of luck on a camo mask...but that looks like it could be a neat kit to build. There are five Eduard etch sets available for the 1/32 Academy F/A-18C...I have four of them, and the fifth one is in the mail. Just placed a $120+ etch order today...

Yup...I've been known to buy 12 etch sets at a time.

Ah...the scratch to build...it's a progressive, degenerative, long term persistant sort of disease...it eats up whatever is left of my chrome allowance... Signature- Rufus >...some men just cain't be reached... Dont feel bad... I got all the CMK, Eduard, and Aries sets for the Tamiya He 219. Bout $150 + worth of (duplicated in some cases) aftermarket goodies just for it :) "Only a Gentleman can insult me, and a true Gentleman never will..." >>...some men just cain't be reached... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > "Only a Gentleman can insult me, and a true Gentleman never will..." I don't get it. If Tamiya kits are so great what is the point in spending 5 times as much on "improvements"? Frank >I don't get it. If Tamiya kits are so great what is the point in spending 5 >times as much on "improvements"? Well the cockpit is nice, but not *filled up* like the real thing. (I've drolled over the Smithsonian H 219 for 15 years now) The Aries cockpit set really does make the grade here, and is a must for me. Should be for everyone who wants this level of detail. The CMK engine set is just plain nice, and has beautifull cowling panels, and reasonably decent engines, that with decent painting and a little wire, and sprue here and there will be great ! The CMK control surface set also has very well detailed non bulged, but flattened wheels all the way around. and the life raft in it's compartment too The control surfaces are well done. The CMK cockpit set gives a very well done main wheel bay set, and wing mounted cannon set. The cockpit is only ok, the vac canopy is absolutely one of the best I've ever seen. Shame you would need two of them to pose open properly. But... you want this set for the main wheel bays alone ! The Eduard set gives you some odd's, and end's, and an extra PE seatbelt set to use somewhere else. I plan on building the kit, and adding the best from all these set's. I figure it should take around 6 months. Figure I'll start this summer :) "Only a Gentleman can insult me, and a true Gentleman never will..." >>I don't get it.

Figure I'll start > this summer :) And then there's my mediocre 1/32 Revell Tomcat...so far, the aftermarket list includes: Teknics cockpit, Technics LANTIRN Pod, Cutting Edge AIM-9's, Eduard exterior etch set (meant for the Tamiya kit), CAM Resins GBU-10's, and CAM Decals for VF-41. Been on my for over a year now due mostly to scratch building in the gear wells and on the landing gear. Hopefully I'll finish it by years end...but I have a 1/72 F/A-18F and a Trumpeter SA-2 that look like they'll get done first.

Somtimes ya just gotta feed the habit... Or sometimes you just want to do something different than what is in the kit. Either way, it's fantastic to have the option.
