Zvezda Messerschmitt Bf-109 F2/F4 (1/48) 4802
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-2 was introduced to the Luftwaffe in 1941 and marked a significant evolution in Germany’s most iconic WWII fighter. With refined aerodynamics and reduced drag compared to earlier variants, the F-2 offered improved handling and performance. Its primary armament featured a high-velocity 15mm MG 151 cannon with an impressive rate of fire at 950 rounds per minute, utilizing an electric-driven recharging mechanism for reliability during intense dogfights.
This model kit represents the tropicalised version of the Bf 109 F-2, equipped with additional air filters for operating in environments with heavy dust and sand. These “Trop” variants saw action in the North African campaign and on the southern reaches of the Eastern Front, where their enhanced filtration system provided essential protection for aircraft engines under extreme conditions.
