About product

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 in 1:72 scale, a Revell starter set

The starter set Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer Revell. Unlike an ordinary kit there is nothing here you have to buy on top: besides the injection-molded plastic kit the box holds a set of basic water-based paints, a tube of polystyrene cement, a brush, decals and instructions. The manufacturer recommends the set from the age of ten.

The real subject

The Bf 109E, nicknamed Emil, was the version with which the German fighter force entered the war. Over the earlier machines it was given the more powerful DB 601 engine with direct fuel injection, which did not cut out under negative g, and on the E-3 version also a cannon in the wing supplemented by machine guns above the engine. It was Emil that met Spitfires and Hurricanes over France and over England in 1940, and the duel of these three types is among the most frequently covered subjects in modeling as a whole.

Building and painting tips

The paints in the starter set are water-based, so they are thinned with water or with a thinner for acrylic paints and the brushes are washed out with water after work. Dose the cement from the tube very sparingly; a trace is enough on plastic, and any surplus is squeezed into the seam and dulls the surface there. Glue the canopy last and never with polystyrene cement, so that it does not lose its transparency.

Who the set is for

  • beginners who do not yet have paints or glue
  • children from the age of ten as recommended by the manufacturer
  • a gift for someone interested in aviation who wants to start straight away
  • collectors of fighters in 1:72 scale

The set contains the kit, basic paints, glue and a brush, so it can be built with no further equipment. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

FAQ

You do not. The manufacturer encloses basic water-based paints, polystyrene cement and a brush in the starter set.

The manufacturer recommends it from the age of ten. A younger builder will need help with cutting the parts off and with the decals.

Emil was the earliest wartime version of the Bf 109 family, with the DB 601 engine. The later F and G had a different wing outline, canopy and armament.

They are water-based, so with water or with a thinner for acrylic paints. The brush is washed out with water after work.
