The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a German World War II fighter aircraft that was, along with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force. The Bf 109 first saw operational service in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II in 1945. It was one of the most advanced fighters when it first appeared, with an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. It was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine. It was called the Me 109 by Allied aircrew and some German aces, even though this was not the official German designation.
It was designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser who worked at Bayerische Flugzeugwerke during the early to mid-1930s. It was conceived as an interceptor, although later models were developed to fulfill multiple tasks, serving as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day-, night-, all-weather fighter, ground-attack aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft. It was supplied to several states during World War II and served with several countries for many years after the war. The Bf 109 is the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with a total of 33,984 airframes produced from 1936 to April 1945. Some of the Bf 109 production took place in Nazi concentration camps through slave labor.
The Bf 109 was flown by the three top-scoring fighter aces of all time, who claimed 928 victories among them while flying with Jagdgeschwader 52, mainly on the Eastern Front. The highest-scoring, Erich Hartmann, was credited with 352 victories. The aircraft was also flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille, the highest-scoring ace in the North African Campaign who shot down 158 enemy aircraft (in about a third of the time). It was also flown by many aces from other countries fighting with Germany, notably the Finn Ilmari Juutilainen, the highest-scoring non-German ace. Pilots from Italy, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Hungary also flew the Bf 109. Through constant development, the Bf 109 remained competitive with the latest Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.
After Luftwaffe acceptance trials were completed at their headquarters Erprobungsstelle (E-Stelle) military aviation test and development facility at Rechlin, the prototypes were moved to the subordinate E-Stelle Baltic seacoast facility at Travemünde for the head-to-head portion of the competition. The aircraft participating in the trials were the Arado Ar 80 V3, the Focke-Wulf Fw 159 V3, the Heinkel He 112 V4 and the Bf 109 V2. The He 112 arrived first, in early February 1936, followed by the rest of the prototypes by the end of the month.
Because most fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe were used to biplanes with open cockpits, low wing loading, light g-forces and easy handling like the Heinkel He 51, they were very critical of the Bf 109 at first. However, it soon became one of the frontrunners in the contest, as the Arado and Focke-Wulf entries, which were intended as "backup" programmes to safeguard against failure of the two favourites, proved to be completely outclassed. The Arado Ar 80, with its gull wing (replaced with a straight, tapered wing on the V3) and fixed, spatted undercarriage was overweight and underpowered, and the design was abandoned after three prototypes had been built. The parasol winged Fw 159, potentially inspired by the same firm's earlier Focke-Wulf Fw 56, was always considered by the E-Stelle Travemünde facility's staff to be a compromise between a biplane and an aerodynamically more efficient, low-wing monoplane. Although it had some advanced features, it used a novel, complex retractable main undercarriage which proved to be unreliable.
In July 1937, not long after the public debut of the new fighter, three Bf 109Bs took part in the Flugmeeting airshow in Zürich under the command of Major Seidemann. They won in several categories: First prize in a speed race over a 202 km course, first prize in the class A category in the international Alpenrundflug for military aircraft, and victory in the international Patrouillenflug category. On 11 November 1937, the Bf 109 V13, D-IPKY flown by Messerschmitt's chief pilot Dr. Hermann Wurster, powered by a 1,230 kW (1,650 hp) DB 601R racing engine, set a new world air speed record for landplanes with piston engines of 610.95 km/h (379.62 mph), winning the title for Germany for the first time. Converted from a Bf 109D, the V13 had been fitted with a special racing DB 601R engine that could deliver 1,230 kW (1,650 hp) for short periods.

2:37 you really did all those arrows! You do respect your viewers. Thank you
G'day ModeFun!! NIce build of the Revell kit. 👍 A few things to note - You can build not only an early or late G-6, but there are parts included for the G-5 and G-14 versions. Revell don't tell you this.😒 The kit has the all the fuel filler ports on the fuselage and nose - you just putty over the ones not required for the version you're building and select the right canopy from the 3 supplied as well as the beules. The instructions have mixed the early and late covers for the canon - bit late for your build but never mind. The oil cooler(under the nose) is too shallow. You also added the G-5 beule on the starboard side not the G-6 - that's the bulge over the engines(again the instructions don't tell you the correct ones to use 😒). The spinner hub and base plate are incorrect - the base plate is too far forward. On the plus side Revell give you the most accurate wheel wells of any manufacturer particularly the bulge in the wing. Otherwise it's a fun kit if you're not concerned about accuracy. Having built a Hasegawa, a Trumpeter and now Revell, they all have their pros and cons. Oh and the 109 wasn't the most widely built aircraft of WWII - that record is held by the Il-2 Sturmovik with over 36000 built. Keep building subbed too! Cheers!!! 👍👍👍

Hi Michael. Thank you for watching, for subscribing and also for your valuable comment. This is pure awsomness of this hobby that I can still learn. I know the kit is not perfect, but you pointed out also mistakes that I made, and it wasn't because of the kit accuracy, but rather me. I'm not the bf109 expert. But with the information shared by you I'm sure my next BF will be much better. Thanks again.

Hi. This is a very nice build. I love your style of build a model and the way you make your videos👍. The 109 is so a great Plane. I prefer the E4 and F4 model. I am from Poland too and i am a model builder too. But i live in Germany now. I wish to see a build of a Supermarine Spitfire MKI or MKII with the markings of our polish Sqadron 303. That will be awesome. I plan it for a long time and i want to build the Revell Spitfire with Pilot Figure. I am glad i found your Channel. I have also so much fun to build these Kits. So stay safe and greetings from Germany.

Hi Mathias, thanks for good words. I'm happy you like my videos. This week I plan to release one from the Spitfire build. It will not be the Spit from 303 squadron, but still I Hope you will find it interesting. I have one Spitfire in 303 scheme but it is in 1:72 scale. Stay tuned and safe! Greetings from Poland.

Greetings from Brazil! Crazy to see that many versions of the plane are included in the kit and not clearly showed in the instrutions. Wow. In this case, perhaps the old "In Action" series from Squadron could help to a better undestanding of each variant details. The G series was covered in volume 2.

Hola Jesús, Depende del avión que quieras construir. Mucho también depende de cuándo se lanzó un modelo determinado. Cuanto más nuevo sea, mayor será la probabilidad de que sea mejor. A veces, más caro tampoco significa mejor. Recomiendo nuevos lanzamientos de Tamiya, Eduard, Arma Hobby. Revell también tiene buenos modelos, pero más bien los lanzamientos más nuevos. Puedes encontrar mucha información en scalemates.com. Ahí puedes comprobar si es el modelo original, por ejemplo Revell, o Revell añadió calcas y las molduras son de Eduard u otro fabricante. También comprobará la fecha de producción.
Con 1:32 o superior me vale... Gracias por tu ayuda

Hi @Maximillian Phoenix The funny thing is that swastika is a forbidden symbol in some countries, like Germany, and Revell does not include them in the kit. Hence I had to buy aftermarket decal sheet with swasticas dedicated to the WWII aircrafts in 1:32 scale, but the delivery took so long, and I decided to publish the video without it. But now the model has them on. Luckily for my next build - FW190 I have them already :)
