The twin-engine Messerschmitt Bf110 heavy fighter served the Luftwaffe throughout WW2, despite pilots bemoaning its lack of agility in the air. Particularly at the start of the war it contributed greatly to the advance of ground forces, and later on it found a niche as a successful night fighter. The Bf110D Langstrecken Zersto"rer was a “long-range destroyer”. These heavy fighters or fighter bombers were based on the C series, and many were stationed in Norway in order to conduct attacks on Great Britain. Within the Bf110D family, the D-3 had a lengthened tail to enable carriage of a rescue dinghy in case the aircraft went down over water. This long-range aircraft could carry two wing-mounted 300-liter fuel tanks or 900-litre drop tanks. It could also carry a pair of 500kg ETC500 bombs on an under-belly rack.

Dragon previously released a 2-in-1 Bf110D/E night fighter in its 1:32 scale Wing Tech series, and the company’s next kit of the famous German aircraft is an identically scaled Bf110D-3. Based on highly acclaimed earlier releases, this new model is a stunner! It features all-new parts for elements such as the landing gear. The main undercarriage and tail wheel are brand new, and the tires even possess finely molded tread detail. The wing-mounted fuel tanks are also new to give this aircraft a longer strike reach. Combining these new parts with tried-and-tested components such as the DB601 engine (which is intricately detailed in multiple parts) from previous kits, modelers can be assured of the best quality and highest level of detail in their 1:32 scale Bf110D-3…as is the norm in Dragon’s Wing Tech series!
