This aircraft, the 'Emil' is best known for its role as the main German fighter during the Battle of Britain, with the 'yellow nosed devils, being seen frequently over Dover dogfighting with Spitfires and Hurricanes.
This model depicts the Emil in its last campaign in the Balkans during 1941. It was replaced by the improved Me109F, the 'Frederich', that year. It was flown by German ace Wolfgang Lippert stationed in Larissa Greece.
The kit is an Eduard one in my normal 1/32 scale. This was a real pleasurable build, despite a number of fit issues that were easily overcome with plenty of dry fitting and filler. Paints are Vallejo Model Air.
