Tamiya 61117 - 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6: Accurate WWII Fighter Replica

The Messerschmitt Bf109 is a landmark design in military aviation, with total production exceeding 30,000 airframes. The G-6 subtype alone accounted for roughly 13,000 machines and was developed to match advancing Allied performance. Powered by the DB605 engine, G-6 examples carried twin 13mm MG131 machine guns that required the distinctive "Beule" bulges on the cowling, and some were fitted with underwing 20mm cannon gondolas to increase firepower.

Used across multiple fronts, the Bf109 G-6 remained a key fighter through the war. Model builders will find the Tamiya 61117 captures the variant's characteristic details, making it a faithful addition to a WWII display collection.
