Italeri 1/72 C-4 Messerschmitt Bf-110c-3 Model Kit

The Messerschmitt Bf 110C-3 was Germany's premier heavy fighter and destroyer (Zerstörer) at the outbreak of World War II, its twin DB 601 engines and heavy armament of two 20mm cannons and four machine guns making it a formidable bomber interceptor. However, the Battle of Britain exposed the Bf 110's vulnerability to agile single-engine fighters, leading to the ironic situation where fighters had to escort the "escort fighter." The C-3 later found its true calling as a devastating night fighter. This compact 1/72 Italeri kit builds into the distinctive twin-boom fighter.
