The Messerschmitt 109E was the primary Luftwaffe single-seat fighter at the beginning of WW2. The definitive armament of the series was introduced with the E-3 version in early 1939. When the war extended into North Africa, the version then in production, the E-4 with increased protection, was equipped with an extended air filter to protect the engine against dust and sand. This is the version that is represented here.
This visual model is based on a AFX created by Richard Osborne. It has been heavily modified in major dimensions with major modifications to most components and assembly sequences to create the current model.
Let me know what you think of the result.
