AZ Model – AZ7688 – Bf 109E-3 “In Yugoslavian Service”

Description:

Bf 109E-3
“In Yugoslavian Service”

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German WWII fighter aircraft Messerschmitt Bf 109 in Yugoslav markings, who acquired around 83 aircrafts of the type in the late 1939 to 1941. Later, partisans would also capture some Bf-109s as well as more were acquired to Bulgaria.

Kit includes 3 markings, belonging to the initial batch brought to Germany, 1939-1941, including one marking of an aircraft which fought German Bf-109s defending Yugoslavia during the German invasion in April 1941. At the time, only around half or bit more of the Yugoslavian Bf-109s were operative due the lack of spare parts.
