Model Kit

Probably the most famous fighter of WWII was the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.

The modification Bf 109F designed in spring 1940 became one of the best fighter aircraft of this period. It had a more powerful engine DB 601E and considerable aerodynamic improvements. Starting in 1941, Bf 109F-2 fighters that had 15-mm machine cannon MG 151/15 were produced. In June 1941 the modification Bf 109F-4 with 20- mm MG 151/20, better armor and other improvements were begun. Anti-dust filters and GM 1 boost system were installed in Bf 109F-4z/Trop modification that was produced starting in August 1941.

Bf 109F became the basis of German fighter aviation during Barbarossa operation. They took part in hard air battles from the Kola to the Crimea peninsulas. Since autumn Bf 109F were used in the North Africa. Many German aces – W. Molders, G. Lutzov, H. Trautloft, H.-J. Marseille and others piloted these fighters.
