Description

 

Here is the third of my 1/32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 kits, this time the Eduard Bf 109 E-1.

My model depicts the commander's airplane of 2./JG 77 at the beginning of Hitler’s assault on Poland. The rarely seen red/ white strips on the fuselage indicate the Staffelführer-rank of the pilot, the red disk is the sign of the second Staffel. "Legion Condor" veteran Hannes Trautlofft achieved his first WWII kills on this airplane.

The camouflage of RLM 65/70/71 was done with Gunze colours.

 

 

As Eduard provides an opulent and well balanced bunch of etched parts, you can call this model built “out of the box”. The only addition I did, have been the wing gun muzzles from hypothermic needles.

This is my second Bf 109E made from this great kit - and I have been pleased a second time. The only matter I could complain about is the relative poor fit of the forward fuselage and of wings to fuselage. But that, at all, is nothing to worry about - it is a really great kit that easily builds up into a convincing and satisfying model.

If you are interested in the building process, take a look at the JAM forum.
