Messerschmitt Bf 109E
Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war.

Corgi's 1:72 scale Bf 109s series are constructed almost entirely of diecast metal, with only the smallest amount of plastic. On most releases the top engine cowing is removable, revealing a detailed inverted Daimler-Benz V-12 engine. A 20mm cannon port—used against enemy bombers—can be seen in the propeller's spinner. The solid diecast metal wing features simulated fabric-stretched control surfaces with counter balance weights and machine gun barrels protruding through the leading edges. Additionally, the razor-thin braced horizontal stabilizers are diecast metal, a feature uncommon in 1:72 scale. The large "bird-cage" canopy allows for easy viewing of a detailed hand-painted pilot figure.
