The FF-28 Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a 1/16 scale, Society of Antique Modelers qualified, flying model that uses the Box and Former method of construction.
A single-seat fighter designed by Willi Messerschmitt for the Luftwaffe in 1935, the Bf 109 incorporated one of the most advanced aerodynamic designs at the time, with retractable landing gear, an enclosed cockpit, automatic flaps, cantilever wings, and stressed skin construction. During the trials, the Bf 109 clearly outperformed the larger and heavier favorite, Heinkel's He 112. The short range of the Bf 109E prevented it from escorting Luftwaffe bombers past London, leaving the greater part of the British Isles free from enemy attack on training and production sites. This problem was a significant contribution to the Luftwaffe's defeat in the Battle of Britain.
