Take a close look at the pre production pictures of the third Bf 110 on Hawk's site. The aileron balances are correct!!!

I do believe I see the barrels of Schräge Musik armament poking out from the rear canopy. Time for another pre-order.

I've also tracked down an IXO 110E which should be arriving about the same time as the Drewes' G4. I have Corgi's 110C on pre-order, but if my Corgi P-51A pre-order experience is any indication, I'm not expecting the 110C to show up bofore 2009!

I do believe you are correct on the Schräge Musik armament on the third Bf 110, and quite pleased I already have this one on pre-order. I hope the folks at Corgi jump start their production a bit.

Not only did they get the Schräge Musik armament right on this one, but the aileron balances are correct too. HM is going to have put out a real nice line up of Bf 110s.

That sucks. I was very disapointed that they didn't get it right. Maybe it is because they enslave 8 year olds to work 12 hour shifts.

I have both IXO versions, including the new Desert version.

Bit of a bummer. I even considered trying to lift them out. but the thought of marring the surface pretty much decided against giving it a shot. Fortunately they have it right on the third Bf 110 and hope they put out a few more.

Very impressed with my first one. Two little caveats however; the static crew ladder which I removed as I wanted to pose in flight. The other one concerns the rear mgs; the appear too large to me as the MG81Z twin with short barrels were fitted I believe. A welcome addition; all we need now is a JU 88 with all the 'kit and caboodle'

I would like to see both a day and night fighter version of the Ju 88. Here is a real interesting paint scheme for the day fighter variant used on the Eastern Front.

Is that a false glass nose.
