Tamiya 61117 - 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6: Detailed WWII Aircraft Kit

The Bf109 series ranks among the most mass-produced fighters, with overall production above 30,000 units. The G-6 model accounted for around 13,000 examples and was upgraded to stay competitive, powered by the DB605 engine. The twin 13mm MG131s led to the characteristic "Beule" bulges on the cowling, and some aircraft wore wing-mounted 20mm cannon pods for extra punch.

Served across varied battlefronts, the G-6 variant remained in service through much of the war. The Tamiya 61117 kit captures these visual and technical cues for modellers aiming for faithful restorations in miniature form.

Construction Experience and Display Options

Tamiya's precision moulding helps the 61117 kit assemble cleanly, rewarding careful builders with tight fits and crisp panel detail. It is well suited for those who enjoy painting historically accurate schemes and forming a showpiece for cabinets or dioramas.
