Airfix Messerschmitt Bf110E/E-2 TROP 1:72 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

The Airfix Messerschmitt Bf110E/E-2 TROP is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit of the German twin-engined heavy fighter in its tropical desert guise.

About this model

The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was designed as a twin-engined heavy fighter intended to outpace and outgun rival fighters of its day. Early in the Second World War it proved highly effective, and although it struggled against RAF fighters during the Battle of Britain, it went on to serve successfully as a long-range fighter bomber and ground support aircraft over Russia, the Mediterranean and North Africa for the rest of the conflict. This TROP variant reflects that desert and Mediterranean service.

The kit builds into a model with a 225mm wingspan and includes two genuine paint schemes, giving you a choice of markings to finish your Bf110E/E-2 TROP.
