Product: 1:48 Ger. Bf109 G-6 Messerschmitt
This precision model aircraft assembly kit depicts the Messerschmitt Bf
109 G-6 variant. It compliments Tamiya’s other variants such as the E-3 and E-4/7 Trop.
The Bf 109 is a legendary name in aviation, an aircraft which combined
longevity and versatility in the hands of the Luftwaffe and other air
forces. The G-6 was the most prolifically produced Bf 109, accounting
for more than a third of the total. Introduced in early 1943, it could
be fitted with underwing 20mm cannons in pods, or synchronized 13mm
machine guns in distinctive bulges ahead of the cockpit, and was powered
by the Daimler-Benz DB605A liquid-cooled V12, which gave a top airspeed of 640km/h.
