This is the Bf 110E "S9+NN" flown by Lt. Herbert Kutscha 5.:ZG 1 Soviet Union 1942 in 1:42 scale by Hobby Master.
The Bf 110E “S9+NN,” flown by Lt. Herbert Kutscha of 5./ZG 1 over the Soviet Union in 1942, stood out as a heavy fighter adapted to brutal Eastern Front conditions, uniquely balancing long-range escort, ground attack, and anti-bomber roles. Unlike single-engine dogfighters, this twin-engine Zerstörer combined heavy armament with the resilience to carry bombs or extra fuel, making it versatile across vast Soviet landscapes. Under Kutscha, an ace who excelled in both air-to-air combat and strafing runs, this aircraft exemplified the multi-role might of the Bf 110—able to strike deep behind lines where lighter fighters could not sustain operations, distinguishing it in a field dominated by nimble but shorter-legged adversaries.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
