The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a twin-engine heavy fighter developed in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and used by the Luftwaffe and others during World War II. It was armed with two 20 mm cannons, four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns, and one 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 15 machine gun or twin MG 81Zs for defense. The Bf 110 was used until the end of the war in various roles, alongside its replacements, the Me 210 and the Me 410.
The Bf 110 served with considerable success in the early campaigns, the Polish, Norwegian and Battle of France. The Bf 110's lack of agility in the air was its primary weakness. This flaw was exposed during the Battle of Britain, when some Bf 110-equipped units were withdrawn from the battle after very heavy losses and redeployed as night fighters, a role to which the aircraft was well suited. The Bf 110 enjoyed a successful period following the Battle of Britain as an air superiority fighter and strike aircraft in other theatres.
This model has had various changes and refinements for RF7. Fly with the rate switch in the “high” position. Flies quite well. Flies and lands nicely with or without flaps.
