FineScale Modeler 01 2003

I've always been fascinated by modeling. 1 still remember the multi-colored Matchbox kits I built when I started in the hobby back in the 1970s. Recent kits are exquisitely detailed, fit well, and usually need nothing more than careful assembly and a nice paint job to look like the real thing. Tamiya's 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4/7 falls firmly into this category: a kit with almost perfect fit and fine detail inside and out! It features recessed panel lines and separately molded slats, flaps, and rudder that allow the model to be built in more realistic poses. A complete set of decals provides markings for three machines, including the one I chose, a beautifully camouflaged E-4 of 2./JG 27 that flew in North Africa.
