Following the experiences of the E-4, the E-7 was the next major production variant, entering service and seeing combat at the end of August 1940. One of the limitations of the earlier Bf109E interceptor fighter was the short range of 660 km (410 miles). The E-7 rectified this problem as it was the first to carry a drop tank.
Airfix have included painting instructions for the Western Desert markings. This paint scheme would provide an interesting challenge to modellers of all abilities.
