Messerschmitt BF-109


 


This listing is for a Free Flight balsa and tissue model airplane kit from Guillows.  The wingspan of the completed model is 16.5 inches. The scale is approximately 1/30. This kit is similar to the kits from our youth. I have fond memories of building several balsa and tissue Comet Airplanes purchased at the 5 & 10 store.

The German 109 was a feared adversary throughout WWII despite the development of newer aircraft.   It was built under license in several countries and served in a number of air forces for a number of years after the war.

The Messerschmitt BF-109 was a standard German Luftwaffe single seat fighter for nearly a decade. It is believed that more than 33,000 of these fighters were produced between 1936 and the end of World War 2. During the war, the BF-109 fought on every front in which the Luftwaffe was engaged. The BF-109 first saw actual combat during the Spanish Civil War where it proved to be an effective weapon against the Russian Fighters of the Republic forces. The BF-109 was considered an excellent fighter since it handled well and possessed excellent low speed control response.

  • Accurate scale plan and step by step model building booklet.
