Messerschmitt Bf 109F

Description

Top fighter of the German Luftwaffe, the Bf 109 established itself as one of the major combat aircraft of the Second World War, fighting as it did from 1939 until the final collapse in 1945. The F version began replacing the Bf109E in squadron service in 1941 and proved itself to be a much refined aircraft with a greater combat performance that out-matched the RAF's early Spitfires. It was issued to Luftwaffe units throughout Europe and the Mediterranean being flown by some of the German air force's greatest aces. Optional parts and markings in this enable either a North European-based aircraft to be modelled or an aircraft flown in North Africa. More than 55 parts are provided in this detailed kit. – Taken from the 14th edition catalogue (1977)
