I don't know if I'll start on the CyberHobby 1:48 Bf 110D-3 and Bf 110E-2 yet or not as I'll need to purchase parts and make resin copies of parts to build different variants (along with decals, masks, etc.)
My thoughts on the kits:
The CyberHobby 1:48 Bf 110D-3s are great kits and the best 1:48 Bf 110s on the market. However, they can only be built as the odd D-3 variant with the lengthened tail as the normal short tail is not included. CyberHobby put out a 1:48 Bf 110E-2, but it leaves a lot to be desired compared to the D-3s. The E-2 boxing includes the normal short tail, however, the E-2 variant had the same long tail as the D-3 so it cannot be built as an E-2. It also cannot be built as an E-1 out of the box. The nose is missing the air intake introduced on the E series and must be scratch built. The main wheels are incorrect for an E (excluding some early models) and will need to be replaced. The tail wheel included in the E-2 kit is grossly undersized and will have to be replaced. (It is around the correct size in the D-3 kit. Don't know why they didn't just copy it or include both the long and short tail sprues in the kit.) The kit can built out of box as a C or D (ignoring the undersized tail wheel.)
1. The CyberHobby C/D wheels are around the correct size. The Eduard wheels are much too thin.
2. The tail wheel included in the E-2 is undersized. The tail wheel in the Eduard kit is around the correct size as is the tail wheel in the D-3 kit shown on the top right.
3. The CyberHobby nose is missing the air intake found on E models. However, the CyberHobby nose has the correct odd shape for the gun hole second from the left.
4. On top is the lengthened tail (D-3/E-2.) On bottom is the normal short tail included only in the E-2 kit.
