The second Royal Class Bf 110… this time the E-2trop

by Stan Traas on June 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Not the easiest to build, but Eduard's 1/48 '110s build into very good looking models with a bit of patience and the occasional big hammer. I may have pooched the exhaust stains on this one- looking at photos that may have been [...]
