Trumpeter 1/24 Scale Messerschmitt Bf109 G-2 Model Kit
Trumpeter 1/24 Scale Messerschmitt Bf109 G-2 Model Kit During the spring and summer of 1942 the assembly lines began to switch to the production of the Bf 109 G-series. With the introduction of the Bf 109 G-series the constant operational demands for increased fire power and additional equipment brought with them a serious deterioration in the fighter’s flying characteristics. Bf109 G-2 was produced in parallel with the Bf109 G-1 and was used primarily in the fighter reconnaissance role. Bf 109 G-2 fitted with an older type ETC 500 IX b bomb rack for 250 or 500 kg bomb. The tail wheel is not retractable due to a larger tyre (350 x 135) and there is no locking device, either. The head armour plate has been moved backwards to the rear line of canopy’s swinging part. The tail plane and fin have no cast leading edges any more. The cooling air intakes for sparking plugs and deeper cooler under the nose are also new. Oil cooler is a bit deeper than in F-1/2 and early F-4.
