AirfixQuickbuild Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 / E-1 1:48 Military Aviation Plastic Model Kit A05120B, Multicolor

A nicely detailed kit, challenging for less experienced modelers. No flash, molding is crisp, typical for recent Airfix kits. Airfix kits have a good semi-matte texture that makes painting easier. I am pleased with this kit.Edit to add....The title is wrong, this is NOT a "quick build" kit. Also the all black scheme shown in the pics is NOT provided for in this kit. This is my second order for this kit, which will be finished in the Jugoslav scheme.

High quality modell kit of the german WWII dive bomber the Junkers Ju87 the famous Stuka "Sturzkampfbomber". A very good detailed modell kit in all like cockpit and surface. With various opportunities to build like opened or closed canopy and motor covers, landing flaps and elevators in different positions, opened or closed gun bays ... a fun to build but in my opinion not a kit for beginners.

This kit went together well, the cockpit details were good and the model went together with few issues. My only gripe is Airfix refuses to include the "hakenkreuz" in their decals so I had to buy aftermath decals to make an authentic Luftwaffe Bf109.

Cant wait to put it together

Model is great value for the money, but there aren’t a lot of parts. The detail is lacking, but the model looks good.

Parts mate well, you can build different versions and the price is right.

I gave this to my son as a gift. He said it was great!

This was my first ever model build. I bought this because it was cheaper than most others and I saw some positive YouTube videos about airfix kits.I am satisfied with the quality of the kit for the price. I think its a good starting point - especially if you are a beginner. The plastic molding itself was good quality and reasonably detailed. Some pieces required light sanding touch ups to be able to fit properly - which is understandable.With that being said the instructions were awful and unclear. Certain pieces needed to be cut and modified (as part of the kit) but the instructions didn't clearly state what to do. The numbering system for the sprues and instructions steps were messy. There were a few pieces that did not correlate from the number printed on the sprue to the number printed on the instructions. The instructions are not detailed and do not have any printed words, only pictures.Also - at the end of the build you will have leftover pieces that the instructions do not tell you what they are for. This is in addition to the various bombs and drop tank that also are left out of the instructions completely.
