I built the G-4 night fighter a couple of years ago, it went together nicely, & with a few added details (mostly in the cockpit) it looks pretty good.

It's a rebox of the Monogram kit released a few years ago, but it is a good kit with very few faults. Anyway, it's the best Bf-110 in 1/48, considerably better than the much older Fujimi kit.

The first release of the Promodeler kit had a mold defect that caused some nasty warping of the fuselage. That was corrected in the second run and shouldn't be a problem with this reissue.

EasyCo,

I think its a very good kit and well worth the money, I can't remember any problems building it. What I really like about that kit is it looks like a Bf 110 G-2 is supposed to look, and that matters a lot to me.



Here is a pic of the one I built.

That certainly looks enough like a 110 to me, especially at the price of Revell kits.

Could you imagine how much a Tamygawa version would cost!

Maybe in the US.

In the UK it would be double the price of the Revell kit!

EasyCo,
I have two of the Revell Bf 110 G-2 kits and both were fine with no warped parts.
My last airplane I built was the ProModeler Ta 154 which had major warpage of the right wing, I ran hot water over the wing parts and bent the wing in the opposite direction of the warp and then held the plastic under cold water to ''freeze'' the part in the desired shape. It took four tries before my wing was straight.
Hope this works for your kit.
