Airfix has released their new tool Messerschmitt Bf109G-5/6 model kit in an impressive 1/24 scale.
As previously reported, the new kit (A17003) consists of 405 parts and reportedly includes five marking options and extensive build options. The model can be built with or without the fully detailed DB605 engine, and the engine cowlings and oil cooler can be displayed in either the open or closed position. Builders have the choice between two types of engine cowlings — MTT and Erla. The canopy can also be posed open or closed, with two canopy types included. Additional engine and cockpit parts are provided for the G-5 version, which features a pressurized cockpit.
Optional accessories include a 300-liter fuel tank and wing cannon gondolas. Control surfaces such as the ailerons, elevators, and rudder can be offset to add realism and life to the model, while the positions of the radiators and wing flaps are also customizable. Many optional parts are available to suit specific aircraft builds, including rudder pedals, gunsights, trim wheels, instrument panels, undercarriage wheels and tires, and windscreens. The kit features a detailed nose armament with machine guns, gun mounts, and ammunition boxes. Slide molding technology is used to capture fine details on the engine cowlings, fuselage, exhausts, and gun barrels.
