The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the most prominent German fighter type of World War II – over 35,000 were built and it served in many different variants and roles throughout the course of the war. It was the true workhorse of the German Luftwaffe throughout the war and continued in front-line service with some European countries for many years afterwards. This title details the early and pre-war variants, including the Bf 109s that flew in the Spanish Civil War, Poland, France and the Battle of Britain, in a series of increasingly complex construction projects. It also details the numerous kits available of this famous fighter.

Brett starts off with a well-focused and very useful summary of pluses and minuses on available kits from 1/24 to 1/72 scale. It was refreshing to get this information in a concise package. Some useful color detail photos of a restored Bf-109E-4 are followed up by six sample projects that cover 1/72 to 1/32 scale, including a great essay on the Berta.
Aerospace Modeler (No.9 Volume 3, Number 9)
I recently reviewed another of the 'Osprey Modelling' series and became a fan of the individual subject series books. This book hasn't changed my mind. It will give an aircraft modeler a number of skills that they can use across all aircraft types, not just the Me. 109... I like the fact that this book can act as both a modeling source and a research source.
