Zoukei-Mura 1/32 pienoismalli, rakennussarja.
The Bf 109 G-4 is a unique subtype within the G-1 to G-4 series, which comprised the early G-type variants, and some were used as photographic reconnaissance aircraft. When not equipped with cameras, it could be fitted with R1-R3, as well as R4 (external fuel tanks), R5 (gondola with built-in MK 108), and R6 (gondola with built-in MG 151), and also served as a medium-altitude fighter.
This kit reproduces the R6 specification, equipped with MG 151 gondolas under both wings, and the Trop specification with desert filters, based on thorough research of the actual aircraft. The kit beautifully reproduces even the slightest differences of the G-4, which played a transitional role to the G-6 despite its short production run and limited production.
Enjoy the differences between each type of this legendary aircraft as you assemble this kit.
