The Airfix Messerschmitt Bf109G-5/6 Model Kit will make a great addition to any model collection.
The Bf109, crafted by Professor Willy Messerschmitt, took its maiden flight in May 1935. It triumphed in a design contest against Arado, Heinkel, and Focke-Wulf due to superior speed and agility, entering service as the Bf109 A-0 in 1937.
A series of Bf109 versions followed, with the Bf109G introduced in 1942. The G-6 initially equipped JG 27, 51, 53 and 77 in the Mediterranean and later many Luftwaffe units in Western Europe and the Eastern Front, where ace Erich Hartmann claimed 352 aerial victories.
