The famous
Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 was the most important Luftwaffe fighter at the start of
World War II. Most saw extensive action in the brief, but bitter
"Blitzkrieg" of 1940.

This is HobbyCraft's
Bf 109 E3 kit HC1569. I built this one out of the box and the construction
is straight forward. The fit on the kit is very good except for the
canopy, there is a small gap which can be filled. The instructions show
two paint schemes, one for a Bf 109 E-3, 1./JG 52, France, 1940 and that of
9./JG 54, Channel Front, 1940, which I chose.
