HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Messerschmitt Bf 110E2 Trop, bearing the distinctive markings 3U+KS, was an integral part of the Luftwaffe’s operations during World War II. Operated by the 8./ZG 26 unit, this particular aircraft, named “Horst Wessel,” played a crucial role in the North African Campaign. Stationed in Derna, Libya, in 1941, the Bf 110E2 Trop was adapted for tropical conditions, showcasing its versatility in different theaters of war.
The conflicts in which the Bf 110E2 Trop participated included the battles for control over North Africa. The aircraft was engaged in providing air support for German and Italian ground forces, escorting bombers, and conducting reconnaissance missions. Its twin-engine design and heavy firepower made it suitable for a range of roles, from intercepting enemy aircraft to attacking ground targets. The harsh conditions of the North African theater, including extreme temperatures and desert environments, tested both the aircraft and the resilience of its aircrews.
Introducing this 1:72 scale model – a meticulously crafted representation of this historical aircraft. This replica captures the essence of the Bf 110E2 Trop as it appeared during its service in North Africa, with accurate markings and details. Aviation enthusiasts and collectors can now own a piece of World War II history, showcasing the prowess of the Luftwaffe’s versatile twin-engine fighter-bomber in the challenging theaters of the African campaign.
