"Broadsword calling Danny Boy....Broadsword calling Danny Boy..."

Airfix is written into the DNA of all British men and boys - Spitfires duelling with Messerschmitts over the English Channel; daring Commando raids behind enemy lines; Rommel's tanks charging across the desert sand - it's in our blood. An Airfix kit, a tube of glue (not for sniffing) and a few little pots of paint and every Sunday afternoon war movie or Commando Comic fantasy you ever had becomes real. So load your Tommy Gun or jump into your Spitfire cockpit and get ready for the best boy's nostalgia trip you can buy!

German aviation designer and entrepreneur Willi Messerschmitt gave Hitler's armies a world beating fighter plane in his Bf109 which was the sword arm of the Nazi Blitzkrieg from the Spanish Civil War to the ideological slugfest of the Eastern Front. This ENORMOUS kit builds into a model of unsurpassed detail of the 109E - the plane which had to take on the RAF's Spitfires and Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain. Includes decals for two different planes.
