a whole range of weapons in a
bewildering series of official and
field-fitted options, but a common
fit was to replace the four nose-
mounted MG-17 machine guns with
two MK 108 30mm cannon, retain
the two nose MG 151 20mm cannon,
and fit two upward-firing MG 151
in the rear cockpit in the forward-slanted Shräge Musik arrangement.
The airframe was also upgraded,
with better DB605 engines with
Flammenvernichter flame dampers,
additional scabbed-on armour
for the pilot, larger rudders with
Flettner tabs, and a twin MG 81Z
flexible gun for rear defence.THE KIT
Eduard’s family of 1/72 scale Bf 110
variants harks back to the initial
release of the Bf 110E in 2012, and
has subsequently appeared as a C/D,
G-2, G-4, and C-6 in both profiPACK
and Weekend editions. This latestissue is a re-box of the 2013 G-
with slightly different markings.
As with all the other versions,
this one doesn’t disappoint in the
quality of the mouldings; they’re
still sharp, with finely-rendered
detail and no flash or sink marks.
The profiPACK package includes
the usual masks and photo-etch
(PE), mostly for the interior, and
also a neat brass template to
help with mounting the delicate
SN-2 antennae on the nose.The usual Eduard coloured PE is supplemented
by a substantial etched template to help
position the radar aerialsNAC HTJÄGE R
