Messerschmitt Bf-110E - the German heavy night fighter

Messerschmitt Bf-110 - the German twin-engine heavy all-metal fighter with a twin-keel tail. The aircraft was powered by Junkers "Jumo" 210Ga, Daimler-Benz DB 601B-1, Daimler-Benz DB 601F, Daimler-Benz DB 605B-1 engines with power, ranging from 700 hp to 1475 hp. The first prototype of the Bf-110 flew in May 1936. The first mass-produced version of the Bf-110 was the C version, which entered production in 1939. The C version was considered a heavy fighter and participated in the September 1939 campaign in Poland and, to a much greater extent, in the French campaign. However, the Bf-110, which was too heavy and too slow, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Britain, so it was gradually transferred to the Reich Defense Forces as a heavy night fighter and later special versions of the heavy night fighter G and H were created. They were used as night fighters and fighter-interceptors against Allied bomber raids. Together with an on-board radar (FuG 202 or FuG220), the Bf-110 became a very formidable enemy of British bombers. During production, about 5,800 copies of this aircraft were produced.

A fairly complex, well-designed and finely detailed model of a heavy night fighter for intermediate and experienced modelers. The control surfaces can be made both together with the main wing surfaces or separately from them, the air brake panels can be made both together with the wing surface and in the extended position. The interior of the cabins, the landing gear are perfectly detailed, and worse - its niches. There is no color stock, the textual instruction is small and covers only the most complex parts of the model assembly, the graphic one is somewhat larger, but not quite detailed.
