Product Overview

The Guillow's Messerschmitt BF-109 Classic Balsa Wood Airplane Model Kit brings one of World War II's most iconic fighters to the workbench. This balsa wood kit recreates the German Luftwaffe single-seat fighter that served on every front where the Luftwaffe was engaged, from the Spanish Civil War through the end of World War II in 1945. More than 33,000 of these aircraft were produced between 1936 and 1945, and the BF-109 earned its reputation as an excellent fighter with responsive low-speed control and solid handling characteristics.
