About product

The bulges over the cowling that gave the Gustav its nickname

The sixth production version of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 appeared in the spring of 1943 and became the most numerous of all. The change by which it is recognized at first glance came with the armament: instead of MG 17 machine guns of 7.92 mm caliber it received a pair of MG 131 of thirteen millimeters caliber. Those, however, would not fit into the slim cowling, and so two prominent bulged fairings appeared ahead of the cockpit. German pilots had the word Beule for them and the name caught on so well that it is used to this day.

What to watch out for when deciding. The package supplies the tips of both machine guns, not barrels in their full length. That is directly connected with the shape described above: the weapon is largely hidden under the fairing and only a short piece projects out. The visual gain is therefore more modest than on types with weapons in the wing. Anyone building a Gustav for the sake of prominent muzzles should allow for that in advance.

  • Two sets of insignia, that is enough for the fuselage and the underside of the wing.
  • A Pitot tube, a small part with a great tendency to break off.
  • The glazing can be covered from inside as well, which a build with the canopy slid back will appreciate.

The pattern is the Hasegawa model. The recommended sequence of work is simple: first apply the masks, then spray, and fit the metal parts at the end. The tips are fitted onto sanded plastic and hold by themselves; a drop of thin cyanoacrylate is enough. This is therefore not work that would require experience with photo-etch or resin. The only tools to have ready are a sharp knife and a needle file.

FAQ

On this version the MG 131 machine guns are hidden under the bulged fairings and only a short section projects outside.

Yes. The parts are fitted onto sanded plastic and fixed with a drop of cyanoacrylate.

First the masks, then the spraying and the metal components at the very end.

It is not. You are buying an accessory; the plastic kit has to be your own.
