Responsibility details are not available.
A kit of the single-seat Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter aircraft in the G-3 version in 1:72 scale. The basis is injection-molded plastic supplemented by clear glazing parts and a small resin part; the package includes decals with several marking options and a color instruction sheet. The publisher is AZ model, a Czech maker of short-run aircraft kits. A short run means softer molds and fewer locating pins, so the model assumes a certain amount of experience on the builder's part.
The Bf 109G-3 was the pressurized version of the G series, that is the variant intended for flight at high altitude, where an unprotected cabin would exhaust the crew. Technically it corresponded to the G-4 version, with which it shared its equipment including the radio set, and differed precisely in the pressurized cabin. It was a very small run: production took place at the beginning of 1943 and around fifty examples were built in total, which makes the G-3 one of the least numerous versions of the whole series. Power came from a liquid-cooled engine of the DB 605 series, as on the other variants of the Gustav.
Before gluing, check the mating surfaces and sand them dry; with short-run plastic it pays to try every part dry first. Glue with liquid cement for plastic, which wicks into the seam, use as little putty as possible and rather apply it repeatedly. Wash the mold release agent off the resin part, cut the casting block away and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue. Mask the clear parts before spraying and glue them with a glue that does not cloud. Even the surface out with primer so that the engraved panel lines stand out, and then accentuate them with a thin wash. Apply the decals onto a glossy clear coat and go over it with a matte one once it has dried.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
