About product

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 in the Wing Tech edition, 1:48

This kit from Dragon belongs to the Wing Tech aircraft line, which the manufacturer built on a different part breakdown than is usual for aircraft models. The fuselage is molded as a single piece, and the wing is fitted so the joints fall along the panel lines; as a result, the builder spends less time filling and sanding.

Emil over the English Channel

The E-4 version, nicknamed Emil, was the main German fighter type during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Compared with earlier aircraft it received a redesigned canopy with flat side panels, stronger pilot protection, and a pair of 20 mm cannons in the wing supplemented by machine guns above the engine. The Daimler-Benz inverted-V engine with direct fuel injection allowed abrupt pushes into negative g, a noticeable advantage in a dogfight against carburetor-equipped opponents.

Building and painting

Finish the cockpit and engine section before closing the airframe. German camouflage schemes of 1940 rely on soft transitions between gray shades and a mottled, wavy pattern on the sides, which a low-pressure airbrush handles best. The yellow quick-recognition markings on the engine cowling and rudder stand out best over a light-colored base coat underneath.

Who it is for

  • modelers focused on the Second World War
  • collectors of the Bf 109 family in 1:48 scale
  • builders who will appreciate less work with filler
  • anyone interested in Battle of Britain aircraft

The contents are a set of unassembled parts; painting, gluing, and any accessories are left to the modeler.

FAQ

It is the manufacturer's aircraft line that reworked the part breakdown. Its most notable feature is a fuselage molded as one piece instead of two halves.

It received a redesigned canopy with flat side panels, better pilot armor, and 20 mm cannons in the wing.

The smaller number of joints makes the build easier, but the Emil's camouflage finish calls for an airbrush and a steady hand.
