Border Models BT-030

Messerschmitt Me-210/Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/U4 colours and markings. Designed in accordance with the 'Zerstorer' (heavy fighter-bomber) concept just prior WWII, the Me 210 was, however, a failure in terms of flying characteristics. Following extensive modifications, its successor, the Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet), was produced in substantial numbers and many variants and saw operational service in Italy and North Africa, and over Germany and Central Europe. The improved Me 210 was also licence-built in Hungary. The publication has 28 pages, including a total of 49 overall and detailed photographs, 12 pages with colour camouflage schemes and their description. Text in English. A comprehensive decal sheet is added for modellers' convenience. Following aircraft are depicted on each decal sheet: Luftwaffe (7x), Royal Hungarian Air Force (1x), Royal Air Force (2x), Soviet Air Force (1x) and Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (1x).
