Guillow's 500 Series Messerschmitt Bf-109

The 500 series are the most popular kits in the Guillow's line-up!  These easy-building kits contain laser cut balsa parts, plastic cowls and canopies, decals, plastic prop, wheels, tissue and a 24-page model building booklet.  Approximately 1/30 scale, each model has a 16½” wingspan.

This model has good proportions for flying and would benefit from enlarging the rudder.

Any of the 500 series are a great way to get started in building smaller rubber-powered scale model airplanes.  For those wanting to fly, we suggest you upgrade your model with one of our small (4.75" or 6") props, Super Sport rubber and our Asuka 'Flying Bird' tissue.

For now, we will carry the entire 500 series line.  The models with the best potential to fly well include the Focke-Wulf FW-190, Messerschmitt BF-109, F6F Hellcat, Hawker Hurricane and A6M2-N Rufe.  If the model you want is out of stock, just contact us and we will get it for you!

*** The Messerschmitt Bf-109 was the standard German Luftwaffe single seat fighter for nearly a decade.  It is believed that more than 33,000 of these fighters were produced between 1936 and the end of World War II.  During the war, the Bf-109 fought on every front in which the Luftwaffe was engaged.  The Bf-109 first saw actual combat during the Spanish Civil War where it proved to be an effective weapon against the Russian Fighters of the Republic forces. The Bf-109 was considered an excellent fighter since it handled well and possessed excellent low speed control response.  The Bf-109 was produced in quantity right up until the end of the war in 1945.
