The Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 Model Kit from our 1/32 and 1/35 scale aeroplane model kits range accurately recreates the real-life German fighter aircraft flown during World War II. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is one of the most famous aircraft in aviation history. About 33,000 were produced in various models. The "109" was the of the German Luftwaffe throughout the Second World War. Their good rate of climb and acceleration in the dive were two of the Bf 109's strengths. In production from the summer of 1942, the Bf 109G model had several significant modifications compared with the previous model, the Bf 109F. The new DB 605 A engine produced more power, which required a widening of the propeller blades. Two pods housing MG 151/20 cannon located under the wings were frequently fitted.The G-4 was built from October 1942 onwards. Early models of the Gustav were followed by the Bf 109G-6 which with over 12000 units was the most prolific version. The two MG17's above the engine were replaced by a pair of MG 131's Two large almost circular bulges are apparent on the engine cowling giving the G-6 its characteristic appearance. These were necessary because there was no longer space for the ammunition feed belts under the cowling.Manufacturer: Revell Model: 04665 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 Model Kit Scale: 1/32
