Beautiful aircraft model..the Finnish Air Force used/ adapted many aircraft into their air forces..from France, America, and Germany before and during World WarII..none were better suited than the 109 from Germany..this model’s beautifully detailed aspects of the 109 make it a great addition to one’s collection.
