This is the BF 109E-3 "Ufz. Horst Perez" white 4 4/JG 26 Sept 1940 in 1:48 scale by Hobby Master.
The Bf 109E-3 “White 4,” flown by Unteroffizier Horst Perez of 4./JG 26 in September 1940, was a frontline Luftwaffe fighter during the critical stages of the Battle of Britain. What set this aircraft apart was its blend of firepower, agility, and the technological edge it offered German pilots early in the war. Equipped with two 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG FF/M cannons, the E-3 variant was a formidable opponent in dogfights over the English Channel. Perez's “White 4” reflected the tactical doctrine of flexible, formation-based aerial combat that defined JG 26’s effectiveness. Though often challenged by the RAF’s Spitfires and Hurricanes, the Bf 109E-3 remained a feared and respected adversary in one of aviation history’s most iconic air battles.
