One of the best things with those new releases from Airfix consists of those marvelous decals, but it sure is a bit of a chore to get them all from the sheet onto the model. In case of Me-110, a total of 90+ decals of varying sizes needs to be put in place. Also, the prominent shark-mouth decal for the nose of the model presented an unexpected challenge - the way it's formed, there is no chance in hell to make it conform to the fuselage. After about 40 minutes of immense frustration, I finally gave up trying to be precise, aligned the two parts of the decal the best I could, soaked them in MicroSol, crossed my fingers and left the model alone for a day. The alignment turned out to be less than perfect, but considering the difficulties I've experienced, I was more than happy with the end result. A word of warning though - don't even think about putting on that shark-mouth decal without having access to some sort of decal softener.
Another piece of advise -for work with those tiny stencils (some of them are below a millimeter in size) good light is absolutely essential while an optovisor is worth its weight in gold.
Topside looks excellent
Instantly recognizable lines and camouflage
Shark-mouth decal isn't perfectly centered...
...but from the side it looks properly intimidating.
