The
Messerschmitt Bf109 was designed in the mid-thirties, and was the backbone
fighter of the Luftwaffe during the second world war.
It was the escort fighter
during the battle of England,
where it faced the Hurricanes and the Spitfires with mixed results.
However it
was fairly successful during the invasion of Yugoslavia
and the invasion of Russia.
It was a light aircraft, easy to maintain. It kept being upgraded during the
war, and was still in use long after its end.
About the
model kit, this is an Airfix 1/72 Bf109 G6. The construction is easy, simple
steps without any problems. Everything fits in its place, although an
instruments panel should be made as it is missing.
The landing gear wells are simple, as well as most of the model.
It is not a perfectly detailed model, but its not bad. It becomes a simple build which actually is fun.
With some work, like reshaping the fuselage machine guns bulge, it can be pretty accurate! Although not a match for Airfix newer moulds which are amazing, it was a big improvement over the older ones.

This model
can be built in 3 versions, which are represented on the instructions in colour
images!
I did not managed, however, to make de decals fully transparent… Perhaps they need a glossy surface and then the matt coat. As a final remark, I may say that everything fits, looks good, and it can be a nice weekend build.

P.S. Video review in here.
