1/48 Messerschmitt Me 109E

Nichimo's 1/48 aircraft kits are extremely dated (1970s?) kits that do resemble the planes they are supposed to be, but which lack any of the precise detail of modern offerings from Tamiya, Hasegawa and others. Panel lines, when present, are raised. Many kits suffer from an over-stated rivit effect. Decals are very limited as well. At these prices, we can only recommend them for nostalgia buffs, collectors (the box art is probably the best thing about these!), or young modelers looking for plastic to cut their teeth on.
