The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a German twin-engine, three seat heavy fighter. Initially used as a long range strategic fighter in the early phases of World War II, it was used mostly for night fighter operations and as a fighter-bomber during the later phases of the war.
The BF 110 excelled as a night fighter due to its long range, heavy firepower (including rockets), and dedicated radar operator. These 'Zestorer' (Destroyer) aircraft were especially effective as bomber-destroyers, using their heavy firepower to destroy Allied bombers in just seconds.
The Bf 110 'G-4' version was a dedicated night fighter that entered service in late 1942. It received larger engines and was strengthened to accommodate those engines and heavier payloads. It carried factory installed airborne interception radar, greatly enhancing its capabilities as a night fighter.
This highly detailed 1:72 scale version of the German Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4 depicts the famous night fighter flown by 58 victory ace Oberleutnant Martin 'Tino' Becker of 2./NJG 4 as it was seen in the summer of 1944.
This German Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4 is part of Hobby Master's Air Power Series. The 1:72 scale die cast metal aircraft is approximately 7 inches long with a 9 inch wingspan, and includes features such as a detailed cockpit, an upward firing twin-cannon Schrage Musik installation, a removable 'bird-cage' canopy, two crew figures, nose-mounted SN-2b airborne interception radar, rotating propellers, twin rocket tubes and removable fuel tanks on each wing, optional-position landing gear, and authentic markings including the squadron insignia beneath the cockpit canopy and victory symbols on the tail. The aircraft also comes with a display stand.
