1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4
Trumpeter 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 is a plastic kit of the German fighter from the Battle of Britain era. It contains over 280 parts including a detailed engine. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Willy Messerschmitt designed the Bf 109 in the early 1930s as one of the first truly modern fighters, with all-metal monocoque construction, an enclosed canopy and retractable undercarriage. It received its baptism of fire in the Spanish Civil War and formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force in World War II. The E series, known as the "Emil", bore the brunt of the fighting in 1939–1941 including the Battle of Britain; the E-4 fought among other campaigns over Britain.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale consists of over 280 parts on ten sprues, tyres and a photo-etched fret. The fuselage halves carry authentic surface detail, and both the engine and its accessory compartment are finely rendered. The model is 273 mm long with a 308 mm wingspan.
The large scale allows a display with the engine exposed, showing off the Emil's engineering. The 1940 scheme with a yellow cowling, as seen on the box art, offers scope for fine chipping and mottled fuselage sides. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Germany. Period: World War II.
