HISTORY OF THE Bf109 FIGHTER: REALLY MODERN FOR THE AGEThe German WWII Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter plane was designed at the beginning of the 30s of the last century by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BF). It became the most produced at the factory with almost 34,000 units - none has exceeded that amount - and one of the first really modern of its times for its fully metallic monocoque, its closed cockpit and retractable landing gear.As a curious historical fact, it participated in the Spanish Civil War to test its elements and characteristics, but logically it was during the second global war when it was a fundamental part of the german air fleet, specifically, the Luftwaffe. It was present until the development of the first aircraft reactors, until the end of the aforementioned war.What were its functions exactly? At first, it was created expressly as an interceptor, however, it ended up acting as escort of bombers, fighter-bomber, day and night fighter, ground attack aircraft and, finally, reconnaissance aircraft. The Messerschmitt Bf109 achieved more than 900 victories, especially when it was part of the Jagdgeschwader 52 fleet.MESSERSCHMITT Bf109G 1/16 FIGHTER MODELING KIT CONTENTSThe high quality metal and plastic modeling kit of the most important German fighter plane of World War II, Messerschmitt Bf109G, contains an exceptional aviation model that is already the most faithful replica of the market.Aimed at initiated modelers, the 1/16 scale model of the Bf109G has a system of tabs that allows the assembly of the aircraft structure
