ICM Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 WWII Model Kit HC-ICM72134

The ICM Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 - WWII German Night Fighter model kit, part number HC-ICM72134, is a 1:72 scale plastic aircraft model with 44 parts. It represents a Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 operated by III./NJG 1, a German night fighter squadron, in 1941. This particular aircraft is depicted in a non-standard black colour, providing a distinctive subject from the Bf 109E series.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was one of Germany's high-speed fighter aircraft and became a symbol of German Air Force power during the Second World War. The Bf 109E modification was introduced in 1938, with aircraft from the series taking part in the Polish, Norwegian and French campaigns between 1939 and 1940. The Bf 109E-4 was used during the Battle of Britain, where its revised canopy distinguished it from earlier versions. Some aircraft were later adapted for night fighter operations, including the subject represented by this kit.

Features

The kit includes detailed assembly instructions to guide construction. Its sprues contain the parts needed to build the aircraft at 1:72 scale, with the model designed as a detailed representation of the Bf 109E-4 airframe. The supplied marking option represents the III./NJG 1 aircraft of Germany in 1941, allowing the completed model to portray this specific night fighter scheme.
