Well, If  you want make this plane, then the real choice is the HIGHPLANE’S ONE.

There is another model  made by Italeri, in this scale, but there  are a lot of inaccuracies like the wrong canopy, bad detail on the engine, raised panel lines and so on….

The HIGHPLANES have engraved panel lines, maybe it's necessary to rescribe some panel lines, because they are not deep enough, remember that this model is a short run model.

The canopy is vacuform and it seems to be correct, with the right frames in the right place.

There are a lot of metal parts, such as the landing gear  and  all the radar parts.  There are also four resin parts for the engine exhaust.

Anyway.....if you don’t like to use  metal parts, you can always decide to use some parts of the Italeri kit, such as the landing gear and also other details….  

About the cockpit......there are some parts that you can use, but I think that it will better to use an aftermarket  detail set.....such as the Aires resin detail set.

The decals are not so nice, but there are also a lot of after market decals dedicated  to the Bf-110 Nightfighter, like CUTTING EDGE (I have this one).. and so on.
