Messerschmitt Me-0110

[Tophe]

This is a 1/144 Bf-110 that I will build as asymmetric single-engine plane...

[Cliffy B]

This oughta be good!!!  Those kits are awesome and perfect for whiffing 

[Tophe]

Thanks.
And a minute-made building, I like that:

Well, I will not discard the second propeller but install it as lift rotor on a truncated half wing. More "work" to come...

[Tophe]

The wing is truncated and the first puty is on.

Why puty on the windscreen? Well, this will not be a Nazi killer 1/144 but a civilian motor-glider, single-seat 1/100 or 1/125 with faired (black) canopy...

Looking way Kool !!!  I'm enjoying this build a lot. One question, if it is a glider, what is the engine nacelle for ?  I must admit that I really liked B&V version of the Me110 that I had imagined you were building. However, this new turn has made me anxious to see how it comes out.

[Tophe]

Thanks!
It is a motor-glider, flying as sailplane most of the time but having a little engine to take off and climb by itself.

Can't wait to see more of this one.....

[Librarian]

Me too, I like the way this is going . Might try something with a Tigercat....!?

[Tophe]

Thank you very much...
Well, the actual status is sanding than adding puty again, etc...

[Tophe]

I have decided sanding is enough and I started painting... sky blue, as usual (Humbrol 65)

[Tophe]

Painting the side up. Yes single engine...

Almost finished:

The Variable-Asymmetry Motor-Glider Me-0110 VAMG is finished:

[PR19_Kit]

Cracking model Tophe! 

I love the 'Assisted Thermal' prop pointing upwards! I can just imagine my gliding instructor '......OK Kit, a touch of upwards throttle now to clear the threshold...' 

[Librarian]

Now that is very interesting . You can almost imagine the original line drawing in a book on Luftwaffe secret projects. Was this idea original or are there extant plans; I'd be very interested to know of anything similar. Well done .
