There are not too many 1/48 sheets for the early Bf-110s. This is probably because the only early 110 kits around in 1/48 are by Fujimi and though they are quite nice, they are not brand new, having first been released in the early 1970s if not before then. Perhaps one of these days we'll have some new tool kits of these early birds, but until then, we'll have to deal with the Fujimi ones.

First up is from II./ZG 72 in what is listed as RLM 70 uppers and RLM 65 undersides (actually it is stated as black green uppers and light blue undersides as then-Microscale didn't use RLM numbers to identify its colors). Probably it is in RLM 70/71 on the upper sides in the typical splinter scheme and were I to build this scheme that is how I'd paint it as the two shades often looked very similar in photographs.

Next is an overall white winter scheme on a II./ZG 1 aircraft.

From I./ZG 26 comes this RLM 70/71/65 painted aircraft with the huge hornet marking on the nose.

The fourth aircraft is a desert painted plane in RLM 79/78 aircraft that was seconded from ZG 76 to assist in the Iraqi uprising against the British in 1941.

Finally, in RLM 70/71/65  with a light grey nose and white fuselage band is this 9./ZG 26 aircraft as flown in the Med.

The sheet provides insignia for one German and one Iraqi plane
