![]() History: Designed in the 1930's by Willy Messerscht, the BF-109 (also known as the ME-109), was built in larger quantities than any other WWII fighter aircraft. From a design perspective, the BF-109 was designed to reflect speed and straight line performance, rather than maneuverability. This stood in contrast with the Supermarine Spitfire, its main adversary. It could dive quicker than the Spitfire, which had to roll before entering a dive, giving it one combat advantage. It was substantially lighter, and had a different design theory, mounting of all structural points to a strong firewall at the front of the cockpit, including the wing spars, engine mounts and landing gear. In more conventional designs these would be mounted to different points on the aircraft, with a framework distributing the load among them. Its narrow landing gear design was intentional, as it allowed the wings to be removed for servicing, but this design choice proved dangerous as many of the aircraft were lost to ground loops on landing and take off. This problem was especially noticeable in the Junkers Jumo powered Avia S-199's produced after the war. The Israeli airforce would scramble all their other aircraft first, and land all their other aircraft first to prevent one fouling the runway. Almost 5% of BF-109's built were involved in a ground handling accident as a result of this design.![]() ![]() Features: Factory painted in authentic paint scheme, and pre-applied decals, covered with clear coat.
