Trumpeter 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 Fighter Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The Bf 109G, or "Gustav", was introduced in mid-1942. Its initial variants (G-1 through G-4) differed only in minor details from the Bf 109F, most notably in being powered by the more powerful DB 604 engine. Odd-numbered variants were built with a pressurised cockpit and GM-1 boost as high-altitude fighters, while even-numbered variants were non-pressurised air superiority fighters and fighter-bombers. Long-range photo-reconnaissance variants also existed. The later G series (G-5 through G-14) was introduced in a multitude of variants. By early 1944, tactical requirements resulted in the addition of MW-40 water injection boost and high-performance superchargers, boosting engine output to 1,800–2,000 PS.
