Iain Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 There's the excellent series of Bf 110s produced by Dragon - and subsequently released under the Revell and Hobby 2000 brands: Scalemates listing Our review of the initial release. Hope that helps! Iain Uncarina, chrish and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The only release with Battle of Britain decals included is the Hobby 2000 Bf 110D There are quite a few such decals available with some of the Kagero Topcolors Books chrish, Out2gtcha, LSP_K2 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If you're looking for a kit, Revell Germany might be your best bet, unless you can find an original Dragon release on the cheap. Dragon's instructions are missing quite a few items, so you're better off grabbing a set of the Revell or Hobby 2000 instructions to guide your build. I've found the Revell of Germany kits to be the cheapest of the bunch, unless sourcing second hand. It's a lovely kit regardless of which one you source! - Dennis S.

MikeMaben Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Hi Tripehound be careful when searching, there's and old Revell 110C and a newer Revell release that's actually the Dragon kit marketed by Revell. Good luck and have fun. D Bellis, Archimedes and Iain 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 DML / Revell rebox / Hobby2000 rebox - excellent kits very little nose art so just get some masks cut and you can make a huge selection of aircraft you will have the option of 70/71 early camo or later evolutions; and some with fuselage bombs, and the odd C-6 with a cannon under the belly; sharkmouths, white noses, there’s quite a bit out there.

Gary Needham Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) The 1/32 Dragon /Revell re-box is a great kit and an absolute steal for what is in the box. Also, they are frequently featured in 'Sale' listings. It is a true enigma however why they never did the 'G' Night-fighter version which would probably (IMHO) have been the most popular variant of them all. I doubt however that we will ever see it from that set of moulds now though.

Tripehound Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Thanks, everybody. I found a Dragon Me-110C and there's plenty of decals if needed. Dennis7423, Iain and mozart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most challenging part of the build are the nacelles….take your time over trial fits and get everything well prepared before gluing.

I don't think we'll see a 110G night fighter from anyone ,so this might be the only shot at having one on the shelf. I got a 5 lb hand sledge and a Black Decker body grinder if needed.

While I actually have the old kit in the stash, along with a ton of legacy aftermarket for it, with plans to do what I can with it, for people more sane than I am, I'd recommend grabbing a Dragon kit (or the Revell rebox), and sourcing one of the AIMS conversion sets. This will give you a better result with arguably less effort, but at probably significantly more cost.
