WWII Fighters

Description

Gustav with Gusto! With over 30,000 produced, the Messerschmitt Bf109 is the most prolifically manufactured fighter in history; of its variants, the G-6 was the most numerous at 13,000 aircraft. In response to improving Allied foes in the air, Bf109 G aircraft had the more powerful DB605 engine, and from the G-6 were equipped with dual 13mm MG131 machine guns that required the distinctive bulges on either side of the cockpit cowling known as "Beule." Some were even given a 20mm cannon gondola under each wing for further improved firepower. The Bf109 G-6 was deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts, in particular dominating Soviet adversaries as it continued in service through to the end of WWII.

This definitive kit has its roots in the study of real aircraft, allowing superb accuracy in its recreation.

Choices abound, with options available to the modeler for engine cowlings, canopy and flaps.

Magnet-attached parts for both open and closed engine cowlings are included and are interchangeable after assembly.

Marvel at the beautiful depiction of the powerful DB605 engine, enabled by the interchangeable cowlings.

Superlative detail is on display across the kit; here in the form of the dual 13mm machine guns.
Modelers can choose whether to assemble with standard air intakes or those with dust filters.

Main and radiator flaps can be assembled up or down, and leading edge slats deployed or flush.

Poly cap attachment method allows later removal and re-affixing of the drop tank at will.

Multi-part recreations of the under-wing 20mm cannon gondolas give an authentic finish.

Highly realistic pilot figure in seated position adds a further level of detail to the kit.

The boxy canopy center section can be assembled open or closed. Sight uses separate clear part.
