This set contains an authentic 1:72 scale die-cast Corgi model of the Messerschmitt Bf109 in the colours of JG 52 of the Luftwaffe fighter wing, and a 36 page miniature history; from its first flight in 1935, to becoming the most successful adversary of the Allies during the six year conflict. Purposely written, the book contains superb pictures and essential facts that pay homage to one of history’s great fighter aircraft.
