Tamiya 60790 1/72 Messerschmitt BF109 G-6 Plastic Model Airplane Kit

Tamiya is the best 1/72 aircraft model mfg..

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.

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.

Like everything Tamiya produces, this kit is top quality and the engineering choices the designers made are ingenious. Only complaint is that I wish they'd have provided more than two markings options. The markings shown in the box cover art are so common that IMHO they've become cliche.

Tamiya has established such amazing detail for production yet easy to assemble even for the beginners

Vey concise instructions!

Dentro de las marcas de modelos a escala, TAMIYA es una que hace la diferencia. Este modelo en particular, es muy detallado para el tamaño y de muy buena calidad. Ideal para armar el diorama en honor a Charlie Brown (B-17 F Revell) y Stingler en escala 1/72.

Ended up throwing the kit away due to faulty pieces that did not allow parts to fit together properly because the parts did not form fully in the mold. Tried to put this together after a Bandai kit and Bandai is far superior fit and finish.
