History:
The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was Germany’s primary twin-engine heavy fighter during the early years of World War II. The D variant was designed for long-range operations, featuring additional fuel tanks and structural modifications. While initially intended as a bomber escort, the Bf 110D was quickly adapted to multiple roles including reconnaissance and ground attack. Despite its vulnerability to single-engine fighters like the Spitfire, it served in a number of important campaigns across Europe. The aircraft featured in this kit reflect its diverse operational history across France, Norway, Finland, and the Mediterranean.
