Few people know that Switzerland, despite its neutral status, purchased a limited number of these aircraft (a total of 80 units) to protect its own airspace from intrusions, mainly by both Axis and Allied forces. The Swiss aircraft were famed for their distinctive large red cross on the wings and fuselage, as well as unique markings that effectively distinguished them from the military machines of other countries. The Bf 109E-3 under the Swiss flag took part in numerous interception missions from 1939 to the end of the war (1945).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eExtras and product advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDedicated decals for the Swiss E-3 version\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAccurately reproduced surface details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePerfect for painting historical color schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eReviews and recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The AZ Model AZ7664 kit is a great choice for both intermediate and more experienced modelers looking for something out of the ordinary for their collection.
