1/48 Tamiya Messerschmitt Bf109 E3 – 61050

Scourge of the Skies

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 served the Luftwaffe throughout WWII. Its E-3 variant, the first true mass production Bf 109, reached units in late 1939. Reaching speeds of up to 570 km/h, it operated in the skies over Belgium and France during the German invasions. From the summer of 1940 on, the British skies became the main focus of air operations: the Battle of Britain. The Bf 109 E-3 engaged in countless dramatic dogfights with its British counterparts, such as the Hurricane and the Spitfire.
