Dragon brings you the finest ready-made model of the Me109G-2 ever on market. It truly replicates the plane in 1/72 scale with the engraved panel lines, realistic landing gear, moveable rudder, moveable flaps, detailed cockpit interior, accurate markings and an opening canopy. The Me 109 was one of the great fighter planes of WWII, having been built in greater numbers than any other fighter. Some 33,000 were built from 1936 through 1945, serving on all fronts. Standard armament on the ME109G-2 was engine mounted 20mm MG 151/20 cannon and a pair of cowl-mounted 7.9 MG 17 machine guns. The ME109G-2 first saw action on the eastern front in 1942 and was well received because of its performance. Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc. Dragon's Bf 109 series includes the early E model and the later aerodynamically improved G model with a "tropical" air filter for tropical/desert theatre releases. This model's optional center mounted drop tank is easy to configure and installs quickly. The one-piece main gear subassembly is robust and easily slips and locks into place. The canopy is configurable and can be displayed in the open position, allowing for easy viewing of the cockpit interior and instrument panel details. The rudders are moveable on both variants as are the flaps on the G model, a feature uncommon in 1:72 scale. © Copyright 2003-2013 The Flying Mule, Inc.
