	Hobbymaster 1/48th scale HA8704 Messerschmitt BF 109E-7/Trop “Black Chevron”, Gruppen-Adjutant I/JG 27, December 1941. Box is slightly damaged, model is new. August 1, 1939 Ludwig Franzisket transferred to the 1./JG 1 on August 1, 1939 and claimed his first victory on May 11, 1940. On July 9, 1940 the unit is renamed 1./JG 27 and on October 1, 1940 Franzisket becomes Adjutant of 1./JG 27. By the spring of 1941 Franzisket has fourteen victories and 1./JG 27 is sent to North Africa to support German ground forces. When 1./JG 27 departs North Africa near the end of 1942 Franzisket has thirty nine of his total forty three victories. The first German mass produced 109 fighter was the Bf-109E that has been mistakenly referred to as the Me-109. The Bf is the designator for the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) (Bavarian Aircraft Works) that produced the original aircraft. In 1938 Messerschmitt took over BFW but throughout WWII German handbooks and documents referred to the aircraft as the Bf-109. By the end of 1939 the Bf-109E (Emil) had replaced all other 109 variants and equipped 13 Gruppens with 40 aircraft each. The Bf-109 was the main single-engine aircraft until the Fw-190 came along.
