Never built a German aircraft before, but a photo of a captured Bf110C-4 tickled my fancy. I managed to pickup the newish 1:72 Messerschmitt Bf 110 E/E2 Trop for $A7, box top and sprue images can be found on the review here by Paul AH (who is much better than I am at taking photos of such things). It has all the bits required to complete the earlier C-4. The aircraft I have chosen is Bf 110C-4 AX772. It would appear that this was originally a Luftwaffe reconnaissance machine brought down near Goodwood in July 1940. It was then repaired at RAE Farnborough, tested and eventually found its way to 1426 Flight RAF, the unit responsible for evaluating and demonstrating captured enemy aircraft. It would appear to have been painted in a couple of different schemes. I have chosen an ocean grey/dark green over yellow colour scheme, which looks rather striking to me. I should have enough spare decals hanging around to manage that. Sources: http://www.warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=271754 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._1426_Flight_RAF
