## Description

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. ??Requires paint and assembly.

Review: Best Kit on the market. - Well Tamyia, You have done it again. this kit had a lot of detail with absolutely no flash! Parts fit perfectly without any modifications. The Enginering Department at Tamiya is the best in the industry. from detail to easy and enjoyability of assembly. By far the Best BF109 Kit on the market!
Review: Awesome Model of One of My Favorite Planes! - This model is seriously a work of art. The fitment was perfect and everything went together great. I am 13 now and got it for Christmas when I was 12 and this was my first model. Looking at other brands like Revel, this model is much higher quality. Ive heard so many great things about Tamiya and they are 100% true. I am semi-new to modeling but I know what im doing. I did this entire model without an airbrush or spraypaint. I didnt do a super historical paint job, but was aiming for eastern front ~1943. I got some ICM German ground crew to go with it and im finshing them up. The engine and cockpit are proably the main reason to get this model- great detail for the scale and easy to assemble on top of that. The instuctions are really great too and you just need some peace and quiet to get everything how you want. The only issue I had while building was the foot peddals; these are very small and can get lost and the way they go on is frustrating. Other than that, it went together very nicely. I painted this model in this order: assemble the whole cockpit and engine (At their appropriate times of course) but only start painting when fully assembled. Its much easier this way and faster. Ok so the decals. Wow there was quite a lot. Most I didnt use, but there was plenty of very small decals for extremists to make the plane look look like a shrunk down, real BF109. There is also 2 swastikas which is a nice addition to add some extra realism. I used Mirco Sol and Micro Set to apply he decals and they were very high quality feeling and they sure acted like it to. None ripped and everything went smooth. I painted the everything in Vallejo model colors and they were nice to. Chipping and a pin wash finished this one off. 2 matte clear coats sealed all this in. Planning on making a diorama soon. So this model was a blast and combined with great detail, easy instructions and it being a BF109, this plane is simply awesome. Dont be affraid as this is much easier than they make it out to be, so begginers like me can have a fun and easy time! Overall, I would rate it 100/10 if I could and will deffinetly buy from Tamiya again!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice model to build.
*by W***L on March 30, 2025*

I thought it was a very detailed model. I found the engine particularly detailed. I had a problem getting it to fit into the engine compartment though. I found I had to mix paints to get the colors for this model. My Luftwaffe grey purple was a bit too purple. I liked the idea of not gluing the engine top and front canopy on because it allows you to view all of the details. Over all I liked my result
