The E-4 version was powered by a Daimler Benz DB 601Aa engine and was armed with two 7.92mm machine guns on the nose, as well as a 20mm cannon on each wing. For some aircraft, bulletproof glass was used to reinforce the front of the canopy. In addition, a 20mm cannon, which ran through a tube in the propeller was supposed to be installed but was unsuccessful. Displaying superior acceleration and diving ability, the E-type planes overpowered the RAF's Hawk Hurricane and equalled the Spitfire fighters in the Battle of Britain. However, with a flight range of only 560km, the E-4 planes were limited to just fifteen minutes of combat over British skies. Thus, the bombers were not given sufficient support and sustained heavy damage. As a result, the Luftwaffe's strategy to bomb England in surrender was a failure. To deal with this drawback, the E-4 planes were equipped with an additional 300L fuel tank. These improved fighters, called E-7, were then deployed at the end of 1940. After the Battle of Britain, the E-4\/7 planes were sent to the front lines of Northern Africa. As the Bf109 F-type fighter's production was advanced, the E-4\/7 was retired from the front lines. However, some veteran pilots continued to use the E-4\/7 mainly for ground support duty until the summer of 1942.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/tamiya-61050-messerschmitt-bf109-e3--129903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53398542221658,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_1961_15a128dd-00c1-435a-a0fd-f0d19584956a.JPG?v=1769079761","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-messerschmitt-bf109-e3-tamiya-n-61050-1-48-like-new-inside-unopened","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
