Messerschmitt Bf 109
Kit FF-28 Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a 1/16 scale, flying model that
uses the Box and Former method of construction.
Pre-1942 design, eligible for Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) contests.
A single-seat fighter designed by Willi Messerschmitt for the Luftwaffe
in 1935, the Bf 109 incorporated one of the most advanced aerodynamic
designs at the time, with retractable landing gear, an enclosed cockpit,
automatic flaps, cantilever wings, and stressed skin construction.
During the trials, the Bf 109 clearly outperformed the larger and
heavier favorite, Heinkel's He 112. The short range of the Bf 109E
prevented it from escorting Luftwaffe bombers past London, leaving
the greater part of the British Isles free from enemy attack on training
and production sites. This problem was a significant contribution
to the Luftwaffe's defeat in the Battle of Britain.
This free flight rubber powered kit contains a full-size
rolled plan, building and flying instructions, printed balsa wood,
hand-picked balsa strip wood, rubber motor, propeller, nose package,
clear plastic for the windshield, wheels, landing gear, and Easy
Built Lite colored tissue. You will need a building
board, pins, hobby knife, fine
sandpaper, and glue.
