One of Eduard’s Brassin line of upgrades is nose guns for their new BF-110E. This upgrade set is all resin with 12 highly detailed resin pieces and a small PE fret with 4 pieces. Also, it comes with a comprehensive instruction sheet with advertisement for other Eduard BF-110 products.

In a very neat plastic package, you will receive 4 Mg15’s, 4 ammo boxes, a lower nose, a gun tub, 4 PE covers for ammo boxes and 2 neat variations -- one a camera, and the other the top side nose, were the camera is mounted. If you use the resin upgrade guns, you will use the kit’s upper half (E-17) nose part. Alternately, if you decide to build the E-3 recon version, you need to use the kit’s lower nose half (A-6) to finish the fuselage.

The Bf-110 went though not only technical changes throughout its career, but also through a development of its operational use. It entered the war as a heavy escort and attack fighter. By the time of the Battle of Britain, it became apparent that the aircraft, in the role of escort fighter, had been pushing the envelope of its capabilities. On the contrary, as a defensive weapon against British bombers, the Bf-110 made an extremely good showing of itself and remained a deadly foe through the end of the war. The placement of RAF bombing operations within nighttime hours from 1941 brought the Bf-110 into the realm of night fighting on the Western Front. On the Eastern Front, they excelled as fast fighter bombers.

After 28 years of publishing, Ray Rimell’s Windsock Worldwide should be a familiar periodical reference to any serious WWI model aircraft builder. It’s fair to say that any such builder who is not familiar with the publication has been missing a lot and has been pursuing the subject at a great disadvantage when compared to those who look forward to the mailing of each new issue. Windsock Worldwide is, without a doubt, THE reference on the subject.

The September/October 2012 issue continues to deliver what can be best described as the bread and butter of WWI model aircraft news and information. This issue follows the now-familiar format…regular columns presented in order, with the center of the issue devoted to one or more featured subjects. This issue will be of great interest to any model builder who has purchased recent Wingnut Wings’ Fokker Eindecker or DH2 kits, because they comprise the featured subjects.
