Messerschmitt Bf 110G Night fighter

82.7k SimplyPlain  4.8 years ago

The Messerschmitt Bf 110, often known unofficially as the Me 110, is a twin-engine heavy fighter and fighter-bomber developed in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. After a period of use on bombing and reconnaissance, the type found its niche during the winter of 1940-41 as a night fighter defending Hitler's Reich. At first the three main crew members had no special equipment for night operations and relied on their eyes alone to find enemy aircraft in the dark. Ground-controlled interception began from mid 1941 and the 110 began to take its toll on RAF bombers and was soon an aircraft to be feared. Airborne radar was used experimentally during 1941, effective up to a maximum distance of 3.5 km/ 2.2 miles and capable of bringing the 110 to within 200m/655ft of a target.

The Bf 110G in this build is a radar-equipped night-fighter version, and is also fitted with the Schräge Musik off-bore gun system, which fired upward at an oblique angle for shooting down bombers while passing underneath -neat trick, that.

    It would be funny if a bomb hit one of these while it was trying to use the Schräge Musik
