1:48 Messesrchmitt Bf-110G-4 LööKplus

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a twin-engine two-seat aircraft that over the course of the war turned from a heavy fighter into a carrier of night equipment. The G-4 version served as a night fighter, and you can tell it from earlier versions by its heavier armament and the more extensive equipment of the crew's workplace. It is the cockpit and its surroundings that are most on view on this machine, because the glazing lets you see a large area of the inside.

What the set is for

This is an add-on set from the LööKplus line, that is, a collection of parts that lift a finished kit above the level of what comes in the box. The line brings several individual sets together in one package, so the modeler does not have to put the items together one by one. What exactly the package contains and which Bf 110G-4 kit in 1:48 scale it is cut for is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

Lay the set out and go through it before you start building, because most of the parts are fitted before the fuselage is closed for good. Try every part dry first and sand the seating surface as needed. The material of the parts and the right glue are given in the manufacturer's instructions; follow them and apply the glue sparingly. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. Finish the cockpit interior and let it dry before you fit the glazing.

Who it is for

The set suits a modeler who is building the Bf 110G-4 in 1:48 scale and wants a more detailed finished model without hunting the parts down one at a time. It is an accessory to the kit, so reckon on the kit itself separately. Paints, glue and tools are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
