I find the 109 the most fascinating warplane ever. In production for 10 years, it had so many variants, and served in the colorful markings of so many different theaters, that I never get tired of modeling it.

Messerschmitt Me-109Z "Zwilling" Night Fighter One prototype was built of the "Siamese Twin" 109 as a proposal for a new heavy fighter using existing tooling.

Most of them were purchased for the production of the film "The Battle of Britain" in 1968, and from there found their way into private ownership. Many are still flying at airshows today.
