1:72 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6
Item# 60790

Description

This is a Tamiya model replica of the Messerschmitt Bf109, which
was 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.
