Fully Detailed
DB605 Powerplant

The centrepiece of this kit is a fully detailed Daimler-Benz DB605 engine — the 1,455bhp heart of the Gustav — which can be built displayed open or fully enclosed within the cowlings. Engine cowlings and oil cooler can each be posed in open or closed positions, with a choice of MTT or Erla cowling types to suit your specific aircraft build.

Slide moulding captures fine detail on cowlings, exhausts and gun barrels

Pilot's Office

At 1:24 scale, the cockpit rewards close inspection with instrument panels, rudder pedals, gunsights, trim wheels and full sidewall plumbing all faithfully reproduced. Additional parts are included for the pressurised G-5 variant, and the canopy can be posed open or closed using one of two included canopy types.

Exclusive pre-cut masking sheet included for all exterior glazing

Detailed Nose Guns &
Wing Cannon Gondolas

The kit faithfully recreates the Bf 109G's distinctive bulged cowlings housing the 13mm MG 131 machine guns, complete with gun mounts and ammunition boxes. Optional under-wing MG151/20 cannon gondolas, a 300-litre drop tank, bomb racks and rockets can all be fitted to represent operational configurations across multiple theatres.

Ailerons, elevators and rudder can all be offset for a dynamic, lifelike pose

Five Historic
Colour Schemes

The kit includes decals and paint guides for five distinct aircraft, spanning Luftwaffe Eastern and Western Front schemes, a captured RAF evaluation example, and a USAAF-operated aircraft in striking red and olive markings. The 44-page colour instruction manual includes detailed scheme histories to bring each livery to life.

Includes Erich Hartmann's unit markings — the war's highest-scoring ace

Dynamic Build
Customisation

Radiator flap and wing flap positions can be customised, while the undercarriage wheels and tyres offer variant-specific options. The canopy, engine bay and control surfaces all offer multiple posed configurations, ensuring no two builds need look alike and allowing modellers to recreate specific moments or aircraft states.

Wing cannon gondolas and drop tank included as optional fit

Luftwaffe Gustav
In Theatre Detail

Build the G-6 as flown by JG 27, 51, 53 or 77 across the Mediterranean, Western Europe or Eastern Front. The mottled grey-green camouflage schemes are supported by the pre-cut masking sheet, which includes masks for spinner spirals and all exterior glazing to achieve crisp, authentic finishes.

Over 12,000 G-5/G-6 aircraft were built — the most produced Bf 109 variants

RAF & USAAF
Evaluated Examples

Among the five included schemes is a captured Bf 109G evaluated by the RAF in British markings (serial VX101) and a USAAF-operated example with bold red spinners and American star insignia. These striking alternative liveries make this kit equally compelling for Allied aviation enthusiasts.

Two non-Luftwaffe schemes included — RAF and USAAF evaluation aircraft

JG 3 'Udet'
Eastern Front Gustav

The vivid yellow nose and band scheme of the Eastern Front Gustav — as worn by JG 3 'Udet' pilots — is one of the most visually striking options in the kit. Full decal and painting instructions are provided in the 44-page manual to recreate this iconic livery with accuracy.

300-litre drop tank option included for extended-range Eastern Front missions

Attention to Detail

Every surface and sub-assembly of this large-scale Gustav rewards close examination — from rivet lines and panel seams to the intricacies of the DB605 engine bay.
