I've done a bit of IXO-bashing of late, particularly since the prices on the line keep rising -- these cost $19 or so a pop when they debuted a bit
more than a year ago, and the latest models are ringing in at $29.99 at most shops, which is just too much for the level of craftmanship you get,
IMHO, for most of the models in the line. This is one of the better IXOs I've seen, however. (That said Hobby Master has just released a 110 of its
own that I like better). That said, long as HM does not duplicate this scheme, and you like IXO in general, I see no reason to recommended not
picking this one up. For an IXO it assembled easily, and both up and down gear options are provided (with opened or closed gear doors even,
whoop!). I prefer to show this one in flight, if I have time I'll add picks of it "parked" down the road. As with all IXOs, the panel line wash is overdone,
but the fit and finish overall is amongst the best I've seen in the line so far. (Though the join seam under the nose is ugly.)                                         
                                                                                                 Mildly recommended.

# PIXJ000022 Messerschmitt BF 110E-1
The noseart is painted, and looks nice. The cockpit is devoid of detail however, and the gray
gun is a bit annoying. (See rollover image.)
As you can plainly see, the mold detail could be much, much better -- the guns and engine intakes are pretty poor.
