Messerschmitt BF109G6 Fighter
This is a new tool offering of the BF109G6 from Revell of Germany. Overall detail is excellent,especially in the cockpit and wheel wells. The kit offers finely engraved panel lines, but little if any rivet detail. Cowling fastnes are very nicely depicted. The kit offers parts to build a early or late production G6. The flaps and slats may be displayed open/down or retracted. The oil coolers may be built open or closed. 2 different styles of wheels and tires are provided, and are some of the finest injection moulded wheels I have ever seen. The seat comes with moulded in seat belts and shoulder harnesses. These should look good if painted and dry brushed well. If you wish to install PE belts you will have to sand the moulded ones off. The decals are excellent, lacking only the swastika for the tail. The instrument panel decal is good, or you can opt for the Eduard BF 109G6 photo etch cockpit detail set. Markings are provided for 2 aircraft. The paint callouts are the usual Revell Germany, mix this with that, though on the back of the instruction sheet both camo schemes are called out in RLM colors. This is a very nice model of the 109G that goes toghether well , and will not break your piggy bank in the process. It offers much value for the money. I would highly recommend this kit.
Value, value, value!
In purchasing this kit, around $25.00 with a fraction of shipping included, I had limited expectations. The complete boxed model had an surprising weight, the contents explained the mass. The kit has a crazy amount of pieces with many options to choose from. The detailing is acceptable, however, price adjusted quality is outstanding. There is some flashing of note, with the 1:32 scale it's an easy fix. The directions are easy to understand and thorough for an enjoyable build. The steps and sub assemblies went together with only reasonable effort needed and required minimal filler and light shaping. For the price, the value is almost, almost unbelievable. Give it as a gift to an younger modeler or assemble it yourself, the money will be well spent.
Good kit but...
This is a nice kit in concept. It does have some problems. The primary issue is some of the parts are small and thin and easy to break in handling. The primary contribution to this issue is the plastic is more brittle than some other kits. The landing gear is problematic because of the brittleness issue. Both main gear and rear wheel strut. Know that if you go gear down you likely will have to reinforce the mains near the attachment point to the wing as that is the weak point. Once you realize the brittle plastic is a systemic issue you can take steps to mitigate handling issues. It makes a beautiful kit when completed.
Great plane
This is a great kit. The instructions were easy to follow and the parts had very little flash and fit together very well. This is a nice price for a 1/32 airplane. The kit is full of details but there's room for extra detail. I highly recommend this kit to anyone.

I haven't started this particular project yet. Hobbylinc had the best price on the internet and with the good reviews it was a no brainer. This will be a great winter project.

had alot of detail and took a while so i got to take my time and it was easier to do pre shading
