## Overview

The Tamiya 60790 1/72 Messerschmitt BF109 G-6 Plastic Model Kit offers an expertly engineered scale replica of WWII’s most prolific fighter. Featuring a highly detailed interior, customizable canopy, and precise landing gear, this kit delivers a premium assembly experience for adult hobbyists seeking historical accuracy and display-worthy craftsmanship.

## Description

This is a Tamiya model replica of the Messerschmitt Bf109, which was the most prolifically manufactured fighter in history; of its variants, the G-6 was the most numerous at 13,000 aircraft. In response to improving Allied foes in the air, Bf109 G aircraft had the more powerful DB605 engine, and from the G-6 were equipped with dual 13mm MG131 machine guns that required the distinctive bulges on either side of the cockpit cowling known as "Beule." Some were even given a 20mm cannon gondola under each wing for further improved firepower. The Bf109 G-6 was deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts, in particular dominating Soviet adversaries as it continued in service through to the end of WWII.Requires paint and assembly.

Review: Great model - Great!
Review: Tamiya 1/72 Bf-109G kit - This is the best-fitting kit I have ever built - and I've built a lot of kits since 1957! The parts all fit well, were accurately formed and tooled, and the kit went together very smoothly. So . . . from now on, barring a major reorganization of Tamiya, Tamiya is my "kit maker of choice" in any scale! However, due to the small parts, it is my opinion that this kit is not for young beginners or those with a sparse tool kit.

## Features

- 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit.
- The cockpit is inserted after left and right fuselage halves have been put together. It has an accurate interior with streamlined assembly.
- Canopy can be assembled in open or closed state.
- Landing gear struts have a solid attachment point for accurate attachment angle and position.
- Comes with optional drop tank parts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great model
*by C***S on September 21, 2025*

Great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamiya 1/72 Bf-109G kit
*by J***R on July 23, 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice build, but I prefer the Eduard one
*by H***E on December 22, 2024*

Like most Tamiya kits, it’s got good fit and acceptable detail, and the solution to getting the landing gear on at the right rake and angle is faultless, but you don’t get an option for dropped flaps and slats as commonly seen on the ground. The Eduard kits are almost as easy to build, perhaps more detailed, certainly the Profipac boxings are, and contain a whole lot of extra parts. I swapped the canopy and other details left over from a Finnish G-2 to make this a late Finnish G-6.
