With number 17 the Osprey Modelling Manuals start a regular subseries on modelling specific aircraft types. The first covers the standard Luftwaffe single-seat fighter of the early years of WW2, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the mount of aces such as Adolf Galland and Werner M?lders. With detailed step-by-step model photography, specially commissioned walkround photography, scale drawings and wartime shots, these books will provide all the details needed to model the main Bf109 version, the 109E Emil, and other variants, particularly the Gustav, the most numerous of all Bf 109 types, and the strange double-deck Mistel.
