1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 (Late Model)

Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 (Late Model) – Plastic Model Kit

The late version of the Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6, a variant of 61117 (the early production model) in Tamiya's legendary 1/48 Aircraft Series. The kit inherits the well-researched shape and the engine cowlings that can be built open or closed (and swapped after assembly), and adds new parts for the late G-6 engine cowlings, an Erla Haube canopy and 21 cm rocket launchers under the wings.

With more than 30,000 built, the Bf109 is the most produced fighter aircraft in history, and the G-6 was the most numerous variant with 13,000 aircraft. The G-6 was built from summer 1943 with characteristic engine cowlings featuring a small bulge ('Beule') and air intakes, as well as smaller fluted panels for the machine guns. From late 1943 it received the Erla Haube canopy with fewer frames for better visibility, and from August 1943 rocket launchers were fitted on both sides of the wing against the four-engined bomber formations from England.
