Bf 109E, JG-3 "Udet", Hauptmann Hans Von Hahn
Aviation Archive collection, Battle of Britain, Commemorating 60 Years. A great addition to Corgi's Bf 109E series. Eleven different paint schemes have been offered in the series, and if this isn't necessarily the best (after all, it's in the eye of the beholder), it is at least my favorite. Wished I could have collected all eleven, but my collecting career has been too short. To get these models now would cost an arm and a leg (and perhaps a few parts in between).

Lay it on. The paint on the model is well applied and deliciously colored. The national insignia and unit markings are crisp and well placed.

Lay it out. The mould used in this series is right on. No one gets as close as Corgi to the correct shape and size of the fuselage, wings, and tail. Compare this model to the Dragon Wings' version of the 109E.

Can we ask for more? Yes. I hope Corgi continues this series in 2006 (there were no 1/72 scale 109E's in 2005).

Type Single-seat fighter
Corgi item no. 49201
