HOBBY MASTER HA1801 1/72 MESSERSCHMITT BF 110G LUFTWAFFE II./ZG 76 2N+EM "DEFENSE OF THE REICH" - LAST ONE HERE NOW
In October 1943 ZG 76, II Gruppe was formed as part of the Defense of the Reich. Germany's war industries were now the target of large formations of Allied bombers. During the raids the bombers were without fighter cover and easy prey for the 240mm rocket armed Zerstorers (Destroyers). March 16, 1944 ZG 76 Bf 110G-2s knocked down 18 B-17s but during their third pass Allied P-51s arrived and decimated the group downing 60%. By June 1944 the Bf 110Gs were traded for Bf 109s and the Gruppe became II/JG 76.
Messerschmitt Bf 110G
Designed to meet a Luftwaffe requirement for a long range, multipurpose fighter, the Bf-110 was first flown on May 12th, 1936. Fast and well-armed, the Bf-110 lacked manoeuvrability-a flaw that became glaringly obvious during the battle of Britain, when Bf-110s suffered heavy losses and were withdrawn from battle. Redesigned Bf-110s were equipped with radar and enjoyed great success as night fighters, eventually becoming the Luftwaffe's primary aircraft in that role. Most of Germany's night fighter aces flew the Bf-110 at least once, and some of them-including top German night fighter ace Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer-flew it exclusively.
