Special Hobby Releases New Tool Bf 109E-4 Model Kit

Special Hobby has released their new tool Bf 109E-4 model kit in 1/72 scale.

The offering (SH72439) was reportedly produced in collaboration with Eduard, which provided basic data for the 3D model. The result includes three sprues (two grey styrene and one clear) with options to display the engine and fuselage machine gun cover panels open or closed. In addition, the wing flaps, slats and ailerons can also be posed in differing positions.

Marking options are included for four machines, including E-4s flown by Gerhard Schopfel of III./JG 26, Oblt. Helmut Wick (W/N 4148) of III./JG 2 and Hptm. Wolfgang Lippert (W/N 4148) of II./JG 27. “Yellow 8” of III./JG 52 is also represented.
