The Bf 109 G-4 is one of the early models in the G-series (G-1 to G-4) and stands out for its distinctive operational use, including deployment as a photo reconnaissance aircraft in some cases. When not equipped with cameras, it could be fitted with various optional configurations such as R1–R3, as well as R4 (drop tank), R5 （MK 108 cannon gondola), and R6 (MG 151 cannon gondola), serving as a medium-altitude fighter.
This kit faithfully reproduces the G-4 in its R6 configuration, featuring underwing MG 151 gondolas and a desert-use Trop filter, based on thorough research of the actual aircraft. Although produced in limited numbers over a short period, the G-4 played a transitional role leading to the G-6 variant.
This kit accurately recreates even the subtle differences unique to the G-4. As you assemble it, enjoy discovering the differences between each variant of this legendary aircraft.
1. Meticulously researched and redesigned to capture the aircraft’s form with precision in 1/32 scale.
2. Full-color bilingual instruction manual (Japanese/English) with detailed diagrams—learn about the real aircraft as you build.
3. Includes two sets of color & marking decals.
4. Canopy options: open or closed. Canopy masking sticker is included for precise painting.
One of the color and marking schemes is the Bf 109 G-4/R6 Trop “Black 1” with desert camouflage and a sand filter, flown by Lieutenant Franz Schieß, commander of 8./JG 53, in Tinja, Tunisia, in April 1943. The other is the Bf 109 G-4/R6 “Double Chevron,” flown by Major Wilhelm Ewald of Stab III./JG 3 in Kerch, Russia, in April 1943.
Both aircraft are reproduced in the R6 configuration, featuring distinctive gun pods mounted under the wings. Additionally, the model faithfully reproduces details characteristic of the early G model, the G-4, such as spoked wheels and bulges on the upper surfaces of the wings.
