Under new Management...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf110C-4 Royal Yugoslav Airforce


Recommended Posts

#15/2020

My dad wanted to build the good old Fujimi 110 now for a while. It can´t keep up with the newer Eduard and Dragon offerings but still makes a nice model. Decided to do an exotic scheme.
Used parts from a True Details resin cockpit, EZ Line for the antenna wires and brake lines, decals from LF Models, nose MGs from the sparesbox, camo done with Gunze H67 RLM65, Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow, XF-64 Red Brown and XF-58 Olive Green.

On April 1st 1941 a German Bf110C4 flew from Vienna, via Hungary with intended destination in Romania. Due to a navigation error, the aircraft landed at Kraljevo airfield in central Serbia.
The crew,Lt. Hans Diehter,Uoff.Wilhelm Pries and mechanic Eugen Schaufelle, was interned, the plane overpainted and a few days later transferred to Belgrade and later to the temporary airfield Veliki Radinci
where it was destroyed on April 12th 1941 so that it didn´t fall back into German hands after Yugoslavia was invaded on April 6th 1941.

Excellent build. Well done engine exhaust stains; subtle weathering and very nice camouflage scheme. Scrolled down hoping for cockpit photos and I'm glad I did 'cause the cockpit is wonderful!

Great result!

But was it actually used in its 11 days of "service"?

Guess they´ve done some flights, can´t tell. Found only the above info in other forums, no further one.

 

Thanks gents, appreciated!

Really excellent build & interesting historical background.

I'd never heard / read about it........nice to see such a part of history coming to life through this model.

Great colour scheme!

 

Thanks gents for your comments!
