The Bf 109E-3 was the first full production model of Germany's main fighter aircraft in World War II and was a major success in the early stages of the war. It is characterized by its 20mm cannon protruding from the wings and its canopy. The paint job is three-tone and mottled on the fuselage, rather than as shown on the box art. Details such as the cannon cutouts, antenna wires, and brake pipes have been added. This Hasegawa model has a lot of decals, which was a challenge.
