This is the BF 109F-4 "Marseille" Yellow 14 3/JG27 Egypt Sept. 1942 in 1:48 scale by Hobby Master.
The Bf 109F-4 “Marseille” Yellow 14, flown by ace Hans-Joachim Marseille of 3./JG 27 during the North African campaign in September 1942, is legendary for its pilot’s extraordinary skill and the aircraft’s refined design. Unlike earlier Bf 109 variants, the F-4 featured a more streamlined nose, improved aerodynamics, and a powerful DB 601E engine, enhancing speed and maneuverability in desert conditions. What set “Marseille” apart wasn’t just its distinctive yellow nose and tail markings for rapid identification, but its role as the mount of one of WWII’s top-scoring aces, whose exceptional dogfighting prowess made this aircraft a symbol of Luftwaffe dominance over the skies of Egypt.
