Designed to meet a
Luftwaffe requirement for a long range, multipurpose fighter, the Bf-110
was first flown on May 12th, 1936. Fast and well-armed, the Bf-110
lacked maneuverability-a flaw that became glaringly obvious during the
battle of Britain, when Bf-110s suffered heavy losses and were withdrawn
from battle. Redesigned Bf-110s were equipped with radar and enjoyed
great success as night fighters, eventually becoming the Luftwaffe's
primary aircraft in that role. Most of Germany's night fighter aces flew
the Bf-110 at least once, and some of them-including top German night
fighter ace Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer-flew it exclusively.
Hobby Master's 1:72
scale Messerschmitt Bf 110 is an example of a well-crafted, quality
model. It has a large bird-cage canopy that is removable, revealing
pad-printed dials and gauges and rear gunner's position fitted with twin
defensive machine guns. The top port of the engine nacelles is
seamlessly blended with the radiators under each wing. There is a
removable under-wing mounted fuel tank, twin rocket tubes on each wing
and counter-balance weights separately attached to each aileron. A
variety of weapons configurations such as center mounted bombs, nose-
and center- mounted machine guns are included. The series includes
night-fighter variants with nose-mounted radar antenna.
