Gabes, Tunisia, 1943. The Messerschmitt Me109 was GermanyÌ_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ_Ì_ÌÇåÎÌàÌ_åÇÌ_åöÌ_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ__'s premier fighter during WWII, with 30,573 craft produced between 1939 and 1945 (accounting for 57% of all fighter production). The modern design of the Me109 ensured it scored more aerial victories than any other Allied or Axis aircraft. The Me109 underwent a series of improvements throughout its lifetime, and one of these was the Me109E-1 Ì_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ_Ì_ÌÇåÎÌàÌ_åÇÌ_åöÌ_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ__ëñEmilÌ_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ_Ì_ÌÇåÎÌàÌ_åÇÌ_åöÌ_ÌÇÌ__Ì_ÌÇ__ëî, which featured two 7.92mm MG 17s above the engine and two MG 17s in the wings.

    I started my collection with Franklin Mint planes years ago so I'm a fan. They are simply built with fixed undercarriage and no frills. This is a typical FM plane with great paintwork and a good amount of metal. They are expensive for what you get, but Aiken's has their sales where you can get a good deal on a quality product.
