1:48 Bf 109 G5 - G14, K armament set (MG 131 tips) & Pitot Tube

MASTER 1:48 Bf 109 G5-G14, K - armament and pitot tube

A set of turned metal parts from the Polish maker MASTER. It is not a model of an aircraft but a detail accessory for a plastic kit of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 in its late G versions (G-5 to G-14) and the K in 1:48 scale. It contains the muzzles of the fuselage-mounted MG 131 machine guns and a pitot tube.

The real subject

The late Bf 109 G, the Gustav, and the final K version, the Kurfürst, received heavier MG 131 machine guns of 13 mm caliber above the engine. Their larger breeches called for prominent fairings above the fuselage, which the Germans nicknamed Beule, meaning bulge. These were the most widespread versions of the late phase of the war.

Fitting and benefits

• Sharp muzzles for the MG 131 machine guns, no drilling needed
• An accurate pitot tube resistant to bending
• Metal holds its shape better than thin plastic
• Easy gluing with cyanoacrylate

Who it is for

For modelers building kits of the late Bf 109 G and K in 1:48 scale.
