Product Description

1/32 scale Dragon Messerschmitt

[About the actual machine]
The Messerschmitt BF-109 was the main fighter aircraft deployed by the German army during World War II.
It first flew in 1935 and saw action in the Spanish Civil War in 1937.
They began to be deployed and used by the German army in the spring of 1942, and continued to fight bravely until the end of the war.
Equipped with a Daimler-Benz liquid-cooled inverted V12 engine, this small and lightweight aircraft had a top speed of 600 km/h. Its hit-and-run tactics produced many aces.
As the war progressed, various improvements were made and various variations were created, but the Bf 109E (Emil) was the first full-scale mass-produced model equipped with a Daimler-Benz DB601 V12 engine and was one of the main types.
The E-type served as the mainstay of the early stages of the war, from the invasion of Poland, to the fierce battles with Britain in the Battle of Britain, the North African front, and the war against the Soviet Union.
The E-4 model continued to be improved after that, with the addition of a more powerful engine, the DB601N.
