The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the most widespread German single-engine fighter of the Second World War. It was marked by a slender fuselage, a narrow landing gear and a powerful inverted V12 engine. In its day it was among the most successful fighters and it served in various versions throughout the war. The model is simplified but captures the characteristic silhouette of the aircraft very well.
