This 1/48 scale decal set, available from Iliad Design, provides markings options for 5 different BF-110’s. They cover 5 variants from a day, night and desert fighter. Of particular interest is a 110 that was specially painted, designed and equipped as the personal fighter of Rudolf Hess when he flew to Scotland.

The five options are:

  • BD-110E-2 OBLT Uellenbeck 1942
  • BF110D-3 North Africa 1941
  • BF110E-2 Rudolf Hess Scotland 1941
  • BF110D-2 Summer 1940
  • BF110E-1 Wolfgang Schenk (Knights Cross with Oak leaves)

Iliad’s decals are extremely well-designed and have very bright and vivid colors. Everything is printed on a somewhat thin film. From my experiences with Iliad’s decals in the past, I have found that they will set well with and easily absorb Micro Sol, Micro Set. A double-sided, full-color printed instruction sheet is included. This sheet provides the modeler with port-side profiles and top views of each aircraft, with the under-wing marking locations indicated.

This Decal Sheet is not manufacturer specific, so it may take some eyeballing to get the placement correct, but that’s not a reason at all to avoid these decals !

This decal set is highly recommended. The Iliad website is a great first option to purchase their products, and they also provide a list of retailers who stock their products.

Thanks to Mr. Bob Migliardi from Iliad Design for supplying the review sample and to IPMS reviewer corp for the opportunity to review it.
