This latest release from Werner's Wings is a Messerschmitt Bf-109 V-14 resin Conversion set.  This set provides you with resin conversion parts and decals to accurately convert the Eduard Bf-109E-1 or E-3 to the aircraft that flew at the Dubendorf Air Races in 1937.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The 2 pages of instructions go into great detail step by step with text and photos with helpful notes during the whole process.  You get 2 spinners and also a resin spad grip as there is a lack of documentation about these items on the original aircraft, so you can decide what you think is most accurate or looks "right" to you.

I first heard about this red wine aircraft long ago and it is fantastic to see the Werner's Wings has gone to the effort to offer this conversion set as well as the conversion set for the grey coloured Bf-109 V-13 that also appeared at the Dubendorf Air Races in 1937.  Both of these aircraft dominated the air races and were a clear indication of how the opening events of WW2 would unfold in Europe, so their place in history should never be forgotten. 

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from Werner's Wings website.  

I would like to thank Werner's Wings for providing me with this review sample.
