Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 & Kübelwagen Type 82 Scaled Plastic Model Kit

Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6

The Messerschmitt Bf109 continued to fight as the main fighter of the Luftwaffe throughout World War II. Among the Bf109, which produced more than 30,000 aircraft, the largest number in the history of fighter aircraft, and many developed and derived types were created, the G type is equipped with a Daimler-Benz DB605 engine with a take-off output of 1,475 horsepower. And in order to counter the high bulletproof American B-17 bomber, the G-6, whose nose armament was reinforced from a 7.92mm machine gun to a 13mm machine gun, was serialised from February 1943 to February 1945. More than 13,000 aircraft were mass-produced. A distinctive feature in its appearance is the bulge called the "voile" on the side of the nose, which is provided to cover the discharge chute of the 13mm machine gun bullet. In addition, some aircraft were equipped with one 20mm machine gun gondola on the underside of the main wing to enhance firepower. The G-6 fought on a wide range of fronts, from the East and West fronts to the Mediterranean Sea, in interception of bombers and air superiority combat until the end of the war.

Pkw.K1 Kubelwagen Type 82

During World War II, the Kubelwagen was used by the German army for communication, reconnaissance, and transportation of troops on all fronts, and was also used by the air force as a foot for crew members and soldiers. Developed based on Volkswagen, which was planned as a German national car. In addition to the simple and lightweight body structure, the highly reliable air-cooled engine and 4-wheel independent suspension provided excellent running performance.
