By fitting twin floats, engineers tested whether a high-performance interceptor could operate from water without the need for airfields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the concept proved impractical and never entered production, the Bf.109W1 remains an important example of wartime experimentation. This kit preserves a little-known chapter of aviation history and offers modellers a chance to build a striking and unusual version of a famous aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
