Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109E Fighter Scaled Plastic Model Kit Small Starter Set

The prototype Bf 109A first flew in 1935. The later E model was more powerful and better armed and by the summer of 1940 over 500 were in service for the offensive against Great Britain. By this time, the 109E had already proved to be a competent fighter aircraft in the skies above Poland, France and the low countries. It met its match over England and was shown to be inferior to the RAF's Spitfire.
