eBay: Messerschmitt Me110

[Snautzer01]

That one was on US eBay. But there it said was new.

Agree it's fake. The word "crased" instead of "crashed" is another giveaway that this was manufactured.

The mis-spelling is understandable, but those rivet holes - hilarious!

Possibly one of Alfie Batt's from decades ago.

Didnt bother to post it as it was not contemporary.

Some poor bloody fool is going to buy this fake!

The hand emblem on Bf 110s of I./ZG 2 was red, not black. Also, it was painted on the MG cowling, which did not have rivets all over the place on it - look at the rivet holes on this piece of crap!
Here's a view of the emblem on the nose of Bf 110 C-2, 3M+CH, W. Nr. 3076 of 1./ZG 2. You can see in a couple of seconds that the e-bay item is a fake.

That fake sold for £113!

If both the kites belonged to the ZG 1, the code should start with the S9 marking. The one in the post #1230 is of the code +CB but not +CG. Just a typo IMHO.

I don't think thats a fuel tank (Dackelbauch) under the fuselage I believe it is a large cannon fairing a 37mm or possibly a 50mm the water mark obscures the gun barrel enough that I can't tell what cannon it is. Very nice find

 

[Wurger]

A good catch. I agree. If it would be the fuel tank it would be longer, deeper and started almost at the front of the fuselage but not slight in front the wing roots.
The shape of the front of the gondola and the length of the protuding barrel suggest the BK 37mm Flak 18 cannon.

Mid-1943 ZG 1's unit code changed from 'S9' to 2N'.

Right ...

However the enlarged shot, although very blurry, shows something what looks like the small S9 rather than the 2N. Just my opinion.

Yep. Before that, instructions obviously went out to reduce the size of the unit code, so you will see that with ZG 1, and night fighter units in particular. Then with a smaller unit code, S9 changed to 2N.

THX.
