hie special SH72443 1/72 scale plastic model kit In the 1930s, a real rovolution was introduced tothe aviation by the moans ofan all metal, cantilever low wing monoplane design. At fist, mull engined bomber machines appeared, outperforming fighter aiplanes of he ime not just bythe speed they were capable of Therefore, the aviaion designers had to stan thinking ofa similar concopt for their new type ofa fighter plano, too. At almost tho eame time, the fist fghter monoplanes begun to emerge from the Srawing boards inthe Soviet Union, France, UK, USAas well asin Germany, where the Nazis came fo power and feverish stated tearm and to bullthenew Lttwaffe.n 1836, ne Messerschmitt t 108 was accepted tothe miltary a anew standard fghte plane. The inal versions ofthe B 108A, B, Cand D were fled with various versions ofthe Jumo 210 powerplant and their earl fight ests and baptism offre tok place Spain during the CvilWer: Unt! 1338 when such aircraft as the Spitfre, MS-406 and the P-36 Hawk enteredthernlitary service, the 109s had arguably remained the top fighor planes inthe world. But by then, Hawker Hurricaneshad already seena year of active duly. Compared witha these mentioned iypes, however, the early Jumo-powered Bt 109shad the sisadvantage of ighter armament and less powerful engines. Bath the Luftwaffe and the Messerschmitt managemont wore well aware ofthe disadvantage and decided to mate the existing airframe with a now tyoe of powerplant. The V-13 and V-14 prototypes were test town having baer fited with a DB 600 angine. The new type of engine also brought ano, threo-blad Propeller, the wing nad been reworked as wel asthe cooling systoms, the nose secton received anew, more streamlines shape, The new engines proved Unreliable ang not for service, eo te milly focused on the more modern OB 60° powerplant instead, The st tt fights of prototypes V-13,V-18 ang \V-i8a promptly showed that what an excellent ighteraieraf had been born. The plane was designated the Bf 10S and ecame colloquially known asthe Emil Following te E-0 test and evaluation batch, te production started in December 1938, ging simultaneously, almost ight from the stat, two afferent versions. The Bt 1095-1 was ighlly armed, having ust four machine guns, whilst the 3 featured mixed armament of two machine guns in the fuselage and {wo 20 mm MG FF cannon cared in the wing. When the war broke out in September 1939, both the early engine-ited versions andthe Emil fought over Poland and Waster Europe during so-called Silzkriag.Aetal combats against French fighters only brought about even faster transfer ofthe early machines {otaining units. Inthe spring of 1940, he Luftwaffe commenced the attack on Denmark, Norway, France ane the Benelix countries equipped only with Ems. Because ofwelthe thought tough tacies and excellent performance of the new BI 109Es and{win-engined Bt 110s, the Luftwaffe enjoyed overwhelming air dominance. OF all west-suropean fighter machines, only the French Dewottine 0.520 and Bish Spitire could match the German Ems. The Attack on the ‘West ended in crushing victory ofthe Luftwaffe. twas not only untl the Battle of Britain that the frst serious weak pointof the Bf 103E was revealed, ie their rather short lags. The combat experiance gained dung the war influenced the development of nvr versions.

These two new features begun to be installed Felrospoctivaly to earor-buil machines too. Some ofthe Emils got more powerful DB 601N engine withthe GM-1 nitrous oxide injection system and could be Fecognizes by having a letter N or Z added ta their type numer. A version adapted for harsh topical conétions was also introduced into production.
