The product is manufactured by the renowned Czech company Eduard, known for its precision and attention to detail.

The Bf 109C and D were further development versions of the famous German Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, which became a staple of the Luftwaffe and wrote its name in history. These variants were mainly used by Germany in the late 1930s, specifically with Bf 109D aircraft taking part in the Polish campaign of 1939 (World War II), as well as earlier armed conflicts, including the Spanish Civil War. At that time, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was one of the most advanced designs, featuring an enclosed cockpit, retractable landing gear, and a powerful inline engine.

The presented Eduard 48348 set is a complete upgrade kit allowing for detailed enhancement of Academy, Minicraft, or Hobbycraft models – it mainly includes photo-etched parts, richly detailed cockpit features, pilot harnesses, frameworks, panels, and various small internal and external aircraft details. Thanks to the photo-etched parts, each replica gains realism – this is an ideal solution for modelers wanting to upgrade beyond the standard base kit. All elements are made from high-quality metal, guaranteeing excellent precision and durability after assembly.
