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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eDetails:\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cbr\u003e16 1\/2\" wingspan\u003cbr\u003eLaser cut balsa parts\u003cbr\u003eWater-slide decals\u003cbr\u003eGuillow's prop\u003cbr\u003eTissue covering\u003cbr\u003eWire, wheels and hardware\u003cbr\u003ePlans and instructions\u003cbr\u003eGuillow's rubber strip\u003cbr\u003eGuillow's kit 505\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guillow's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46485289762991,"sku":"GUI505","price":28.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/9540\/0256\/files\/Guillows505-Bf109_Model_3.png?v=1768591253","url":"https:\/\/www.wind-it-up.com\/products\/guillows-500-series-messerschmitt-bf-109","provider":"Wind-it-up Enterprises LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
