1/9 Me109E-3 Luftwaffe Maschenung Fighter

The appeal of this box set is largely the 1/9 scale "Mecha-Musume" (mecha-girl) figure of the Me109E-3, assembled and prepainted and mounted on a custom base (and holding her MG42, ready for combat!). Included with the figure is a serious booklet with specs and history of the Me109E-3, the MG42, the Battle of Britain (including a map of strike sites), and short blurbs on the Supermarine Spitfire and Bristol BeauFighter. Amusing colour illustrations of the "Mecha-Musume" girls in flight accompany the text (in Japanese only). The soft-cover booklet measures about 18x26 cm, and is 12 pages on thick matte paper. In 1/9 scale, the Me109E-3 figure measures about 16 cm tall. The whole set is packaged in an attractive book box, with velcro closure.
