Airfix A01008A Messerschmitt Bf109E 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit, Grey

This little kit was way better than I imagined it would be. The tooling and moulding are very detailed and the end results were very pleasing. The key parts are solid and appeared to be of a good gauge and not too thin. I have had models in the past that were so thin and weedy.... that they were translucent held up to light. Nothing like that here.I’m not a real modelling obsessive.... this was just providing a diversion from lockdown madness, but it was great fun and took me back to my childhood. I remember enough from my young days when I was really into it, to know that this a good kit of decent quality. Buy with confidence.

This is another Brilliant Airfix kit. Its a new tool and far surpases the old 109 from Airfix. The fit of parts is excellent and no filler was needed for the build. Have posted some Pictures of the completed kit. The box has a very atmospheric painting by Adam Tooby of this actual 109 being shot down. the Sprues inside the box have crisp grey plastic with no flash, but the parts have thick connections so be careful when removing the small parts as they are easy to break. The decals are excellent as they are printed by Cartograph. The instructions are very easy to follow but you will have to download the stencil placement sheet from the Airfix website. Other than that little gripe for £6 this is a brilliant kit

Easy for beginners

A well detailed kit to compliment battle of Britain spitfires and hurricane s, great improvement s on ones I made in 1970s!

Great detail

What we needed

Another wonderful retooled kit from Airfix!Fine panel lines, well crafted parts, removable panels so you can display the engine detail that is already present in the the fuselage halves engine bay.A nice set of cartograf decals are included too that will give this kit the best finish you could want. Well recommended and very very nice for the money.

i have build this plane up a few days ago and it looks great in my collection thx
