Description:

MESSERSCHMITT BF109G-6

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German WWII fighter aircraft MESSERSCHMITT BF109, G-6 variant.

Kit consists of 4 frames, 3 with main parts and once with clear parts. Canopy can be placed open or closed.

Kit shows a classic engineering, lower wings part is a single piece and fuselage is split in two valves, with separated nose and tail sections that allows the brand to release other sub variants based on the same main parts. Kit include two different fuel tanks for the centerline pylon under fuselage as well as gun pods under wings. Surface detail is nice in all parts.

Our main concern is about decal sheet, white color looks almost translucent, specially in the big white decals such the tail band or the big numerals. It include 3 different markings. Also we find as an odd the lack of instrument panel option in the decal sheet, a solution for many modelers in 1/72 scale. The panel parts by the way id quite nicely tooled for an 1/72 scale aircraft, though cockpit detail is spartan as usually happen.
