"Decent kit"
jeremy.s.michels1
The kit overall was pretty good. I didn't encounter any issues while building the kit that weren't my own doing. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow. There was some flash on the parts but was easy to clean up and all of the pieces fit together nicely. At the end of the day, the plane is very cheap and makes it perfect for the beginning modeler or one that has a little more experience that would like to try new techniques without breaking the bank. The detailing on the plane was pretty nice to include the cockpit. It's not perfect, but again for the price it's hard to complain. I'd recommend this kit to anyone due to the price and the simplicity of the kit.

"Cool Plane, odd Scale"
mcgoldrickkelly
I expect revell knows what they are doing but i was SHOCKED at how much smaller the BF109G was compared to my P-51, Hawker Typhoon, and A6M5C Zero on the 1:48 scale! I'm new to the modeling hobby, and certainly no expert on WWII aviation, but the BF109 is TINY. Furthermore, the landing gear is weak and couldnt fit in properly to hold up the airplane. I screwed up the canopy (which was my fault because I didnt use clear glass glue, but, normal modeling glue) so I had to abandon it altogether. Most of these issues are my fault because im new to modeling. BUT, please tell me that the bf109 WAS that tiny, cause it looks like a garden gnome next to my other three fighters.

 
"BF-109G-6"

An excellent offering from Revell. The kit may not have a lot of parts, but it does offer good detail. It has recessed panel line which are an excellent touch and has an excellent decal sheet. The model is free of flash and goes together well. I added the Eduard BF-109G-6 photo etch cockpit set to my model, this comes with instrument panel seatbelts and other cockpit details, which greatly improves the appearance of the model. You can also add Scale Aircraft Conversions white metal landing gear struts and resin tires to the kit if you so desire, It looks nice either way.It goes together quickly and is a joy to build. I would definitely recommend this kit.

 
"Fast and Easy"

This model was a great build for me. Not many parts and very simple to assemble and it really turned out great. I like the looks of it and it makes a great display model. A nice addition as I am rebuilding my WWII collection. Haven't had a Messerschmitt 109 since I was a kid and wish I had all those models now. I regret taking them outside one day and deciding to shoot them all up with my BB gun. O, the things you think of when you are young! Not a lot of flash involved with this one and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. A really great build for anyone and you can't beat the price. I did decide to wash the parts before I started and will do that from now on as it does make quite a difference with paint adhesion. Try this one and I am sure you will appreciate it. Highly recommended!
