BF 109E-3 "Jan Reznak" white2 13.(slow.)/JG 52 Krasnodar Jan 1943 in 1:48 scale
This is the BF 109E-3 "Jan Reznak" white2 13.(slow.)/JG 52 Krasnodar Jan 1943 in 1:48 scale by Hobby Master.
The Bf 109E-3 “White 2,” flown by Slovak ace Ján Režňák of 13.(Slow.)/JG 52 at Krasnodar in January 1943, stood out not only for its combat role on the Eastern Front but also as a rare example of a Slovak-flown Luftwaffe fighter. What made this aircraft unique was its service in a unit composed largely of Slovak personnel integrated into Germany’s powerful JG 52, flying aging Emil models long after they had been phased out elsewhere. Despite being outclassed by newer Soviet fighters, Režňák leveraged the Bf 109E’s climb rate and firepower with deadly efficiency, making him the most successful Slovak fighter pilot of WWII and showcasing how individual skill could elevate older hardware in a fiercely competitive aerial environment.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
