Is it just me or is the nose pretty short on the il2 Bf-110?

The Airfix one definitely has a longer nose, but I did some searching for the E version specifically and the Il-2 -110 matches the images I found.

 

I'm sure the sea of Bf-110 experts here can clarify better. My impression is that either the Bf-110C snout was longer than the rest, or the Bf-110E had it shorter than other models. It helps to use the propeller spinner as a reference.

Nah, the Image below shows it wrong. Look at the angle of the armored front glass

When I built airfix kits all those years ago I'm sure I remember there were several different noses you could put on it.

Why is the 110 always shown as being shot up and down and slaughtered in these artworks? 

If I would be buying this model kit of the 110 I'd want to see it winning and creating havoc!  :crazy:

I'm pretty sure the nose looks longer due to the oblique angles used for action box art. See Eduards artwork.

Who said all box art has the Bf110 getting shot down?

I was never convinced about the Airfix FM. Climb rate in particular. For some reason I could only get a negative climb rate following take off from my bedroom window. DM was pretty convincing though.
