AIMS next sheet is for the Bf-110. This sheet is 1/72 scale and includes all of the same options that are on the 1/72 sheet plus one all black Bf-110C night fighter not shown on the profiles below. Thanks to the bevy of good 110 kits available to the 1/72 modeler, it will not be difficult to find a kit to use on the option of your choice. Airfix, Eduard, Italeri and others make pretty much every variant except the A, B and F versions.  In line with the previous offering, this sheet covers airplanes operated by the geschwaderstab or the headquarters flight if that is easier to say.

There are 23 options on this sheet and so to provide so many choices, AIMS provides mostly the unique markings as well as a nice selection of insignia and swastika.  the data markings and any additional insignia needed for other options will need to come from the decal sheet of the kit you are using. Pretty much every variant of the Bf-110 is covered in this one and because the list is so long, I'm going to weenie out and not give details on them all. Suffice to say that a goodly number of these are the later G model planes. This includes regular fighter bombers as well as a nice selection of night fighters.

With some of the options, the plane is the same, but with a few differences such as additional paint details or a change of camouflage scheme. Each option has a considerable amount of information to go along with it, including a reference, so you know that these have been well researched. The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf so you know there are among the best in the industry. I have darkened the sheet to make the white bits easier to see. A sheet well worth picking up if you have any 1/72 110s in your collection.
