Tamiya 61117 - 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 Precision Modellers Kit  [61117]

Tamiya 61117 - 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6: Faithful Scale Reproduction

The Messerschmitt Bf109 is one of the most produced fighters in history, totaling over 30,000 units. The G-6 variant, with about 13,000 produced, addressed evolving aerial threats with the DB605 powerplant. Its twin 13mm MG131 guns produced the familiar "Beule" bulges on the engine cowling, and some G-6s carried 20mm cannon pods beneath the wings to boost armament.

Extensively operated on both eastern and western theatres, the Bf109 G-6 kept the type in frontline service until late in the conflict. The Tamiya 61117 kit provides the parts and detailing to recreate that variant with period-correct characteristics.
