About the Actual Aircraft

This Hobby Master Bf 110 diecast metal model is the third in the series of the historic World War II aircraft. This model features superb detailing in 1/72 scale. Pre-painted with pad applied markings. Fully assembled. Supplied weapons are not permanently attached and can be customized. Display stand included. Option to display model with wheels up or down. Minimum use of plastic. This particular model has an interesting story behind it. In November 1939 the 17 year old Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer joined the Luftwaffe and in January 1942 was based at Saint-Trond Belgium where he became known as "The Night Ghost Of Saint-Trond". By the end of WWII the 23-year old Schnaufer was NJG-1 Kommandeur with several medals having flown 164 missions and 121 victories making him the top scoring Nachtjager pilot. On February 21, 1945 he added 9 RAF bombers to his victories. After surviving WWII it is almost ironic that Schnaufer died at age 28 in a car accident.
