What are your thoughts on this version? I saw it at WM today and I was thinking about buying it. Thanks.

One of my favorites! Sold my other 109E models and only have this one now. The colors, camo pattern and detailing are great. I purchased it when it first came out long ago and I never get tired of looking at it.

If I pick another one it will be this one - the only other I have is the Nightfighter.

This plane had very little fanfare when it first appeared and not much interest when it was listed on auction sites. I personally think it is a very nice paint scheme and now that the Stuka has also been camoed, the two really go well with each other.

Well, the natural partner to the 109E-4 is the Snake Stuka. I figure the standard desert camo Stuka would be better matched with the eventual desert 109G-2. :wink:

The Tropical 109E is just about at the top of my list. :D

Does it come with a dust filter on the air intake on the side of the cowling?
