This is the first sheet from LPS Hobby in Brazil and it contains markings for three Bf-110C aircraft. The instructions state that this is designed for the Eduard kit, but to be honest, as there are no markings that may be incompatible with differences in how the various model companies do their molds, I see no reason why these would not be just fine on a Fujimi or a Cyberhobby kit (assuming the variant is correct).

The first option is for a C-2 version from Stab. II/ZG 2 during the Battle for Britain. It is in RLM 71/02/65 with green spinners and the upper surface of the stabs in RLM 71.

Next is a C-1 variant from 3./ZG 26, also flown during the Battle for Britian. It is in RLM 71/02/65 with a white nose. Unlike the first option, this one has some light mottling.

The final option is from 7./ZG 26 during 1941/41. This C-1 variant is in RLM 79 over 78. The white fuselage band will need to be painted on.

The decals themselves are very nicely printed. I did not notice any registration errors and the set includes a full data suite. The decals are a tad thicker than some of the ones we have become accustomed to, but that should not cause any concern. Instructions are in full color and in addition to giving precise placement information, includes a data sheet for placement of those data markings. There are enough insignia for one option, though you can get aftermarket insignia if you wish to do them all.
