Airfix A05122 MESSERSCHMITT Bf109E-1/E-3/E-7 TROP

Following the experiences of the E-4, the E-7 was the next major production variant, entering service and seeing combat at the end of August 1940.  One of the limitations of the earlier Bf 109E interceptor fighter was the short range of 660km (410 miles).  The E-7 rectified this problem as it was the first to carry a drop tank.
