Tamiya 61128 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 Late Model Kit

Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 Late Model Kit

Recreate the late-production Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 with this detailed 1/48 scale Tamiya plastic model kit. The G-6 was the most prolifically manufactured Bf 109 variant and featured the 1,475 hp DB605 engine, upgraded 13 mm guns and distinctive “Beule” bulges beside the cockpit.

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 recognizable 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.
