Special Hobby 72472 Messerschmitt Bf 109E ‘Slovak and Rumanian Aces’ 1/72 is an advanced plastic model kit designed for military aviation enthusiasts and collectors. The 1/72 scale model faithfully reproduces the legendary Messerschmitt Bf 109E fighter, one of the symbols of aerial combat during World War II. The set focuses on the rare variants used by the air forces of Slovakia and Romania—Allies of the Third Reich—who showed remarkable bravery during the Eastern Front battles from 1939 to 1943.

The Bf 109E, popularly known as "Emil," was the primary fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe and Axis countries in the early phase of World War II. Successfully used during the Battle of Britain and in combat on Soviet territory, this model became renowned for its high rate of climb and excellent maneuverability. This edition allows you to recreate the aircraft piloted by Slovak and Romanian aces who fought, among others, in the Ukraine campaign and the battle of Stalingrad.
