Latest Valiant Wings Title Best Modeller's Guide For Early Bf 109 Variants


The Messerschmitt Bf 109 Early Series (V1 to E-9 including the T-Series):  A complete Guide To The Luftwaffe's Famous Fighter

Stock number:  6292-005
Price:  $39.99

Valiant Wings Publishing has produced several outstanding modeller's reference guides in its Airframe & Miniature series.  Number 5 covers Bf 109 variants including prototypes through the E-9 and T-series.  The book provides an excellent balance between historical technical data and information for model builders.  Chapters 1 thru 7 cover technical history while chapters 8 thru 11 provide modeller information.  Appendices include comprehensive listings of kits, decal sheets, and aftermarket detail sets for all Bf 109 versions covered in the book.

Specific highlights in this volume are provided by the publisher below:


  • 208 pages packed with vital information that no active aviation
    modeller should be without
  • 40+ pages of technical information
  • 20+ pages of walk around images and technical diagrams
  • 5+ pages of camouflage and markings
  • 25+ pages of model builds and modelling information
  • 200+ photographs including wartime images
  • Color side views and four-views by Richard Caruana
  • 3D isometric views of all variants by Jacek Jackiewicz
  • Extensive 1/48 and 1/72 scale kit builds
  • Two sets of fold-out 1/48 scale plans

If you need more information on early Bf 109s than that found in this book, then you're not building a model.  Walk around photos are larger and easier to view than similar format publications.  This book also includes more period factory technical drawings which illustrate specific aircraft features and systems.  Airframe & Miniature No.5  is the most comprehensive and current modeller's guide to the early Messerschmitt. I highly recommend it as well as the previous volumes in the series.
