Tamiya 1:48 Messerschmitt BF109 G-6 Late Production Plastic Model Kit

With in excess of 30,000 aircraft produced, the Bf109 was one of the most important WWII Luftwaffe aircraft. The G-6 variant was the most prolifically manufactured, and was deployed from February 1943; it mounted the 1,475 hp DB605 engine and had its weaponry upgraded to 13 mm guns, whose feed tubes were covered by the “Beule” bulges on either side of the cockpit that were one highly recognisable feature of the G-6. Late production Bf109 G-6 aircraft had updated engine cowls and a canopy with better visibility, and some were modified to carry a 21 cm rocket tube. The G-6 continued to fight until the eventual German surrender.
