DescriptionThe Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft, and was a key unit in the Luftwaffe’s impressive fighter force. It was an interesting model as it was one of the last propeller fighter planes as the jet era ushered in towards the end of the war. Its technical excellence is clear from its impressive history – almost 34,000 units were manufactured from 1936 to 1945, making it the most-produced fighter aircraft of all time. In addition, it was flown by three of the German’s top scoring fighter pilots of all time – you definitely didn’t want to be in a dog fight with one of these!This is a great starter model for children or beginners. The plastic pieces are “push-fit”, which is similar to how Lego would fit together. The pieces are moulded from coloured plastic, so don’t require painting when complete and it comes with stickers to add decal and a display stand. A great starting point to get kids into model building and coming in at under £10, great value.Ages: 8 Model Length: 11cmDifficulty: BeginnerScale: 1:72Pieces: 36
