The ICM brand is renowned for its excellent level of detail, and this set is a faithful replica of the famous German night fighter Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 – one of the most important Luftwaffe aircraft during the early phase of the world conflict.

History and Application of the Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4, commonly known as “Emil,” was the backbone of the German fighter force during the Blitzkrieg and the Battle of Britain (1939-1941). It was used mainly by Germany during WWII. Nightfighter variants received special equipment and additional paint schemes, adapted for night combat and interception of Allied bombers. This model represents the night fighter variant, used by Jagdgeschwader units during nighttime territorial defense missions of the Third Reich.
