AIMS next sheet is for the Bf-110. This sheet is 1/48 scale and includes not only the same options as in their 1/32 sheet, but a LOT more. In line with the previous offering, this sheet covers airplanes operated by the geschwaderstab or the headquarters flight if that is easier to say. The 1/32 sheet was limited to the earlier versions of the 110 as no one does the later versions in that scale. Such is not the issue with this one as modelers have been blessed with all sorts of 1/48 110s from Fujimi, Revell, Dragon and Eduard to name a few.

There are 22 options on this sheet and so to provide so many choices, AIMS only provides the unique markings, the data and insignia coming 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. A sheet well worth picking up if you have any 1/48 110s in your collection.
