For their second sheet, LPS Hobby in Brazil decided to stick with the Bf-110 and provides this sheet for three Bf-110D aircraft. These are the ones with the lengthened rear fuselage for the life boat. 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  Bf-110D of III./Gruppenstab ZG 26 in 1941. This one has RLM 71/02/65 camouflage with only a tiny bit of mottling. The center of the rudder and rear fuselage extension is painted yellow.

Next, in basically the same camouflage, is a 110D-3 from Gruppenstab Erprobungsguppe 210 during the Battle for Britian. This one has blue and white spinners with the blue section being provided on the sheet.

The final option is an overall RLM 76 aircraft where the underlying scheme can be barely seen in parts of the airframe. This aircraft was attached to 8./NJG 4 during 1942.

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.
