First up is a detailed 1/30 model of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter. The aircraft first saw operational service in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II, Along with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, it formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s fighter force.
