1:72 Bf-109G-6 LooKplus

The real subject

The Bf 109G-6 was one of the most widely produced forms of the German single-seat fighter of the Second World War. The recognition feature of the G-6 version is the bulged fairings over the breeches of the fuselage guns ahead of the cockpit, which modelers nickname the bumps. The aircraft was built in enormous numbers and there is hardly a collection of aircraft of this period that does not include it.

What the set offers

This is an accessory set from the LööKplus line intended for a model in 1:72 scale. The line combines several kinds of accessories in a single package so that the modeler does not have to assemble the equipment piece by piece. The exact make-up of the particular set and the recommended order of work are given in the manufacturer's instructions, which are worth reading before you even open the kit.

Building and painting tips

• Read the instructions right through in advance and mark the steps the set affects.
• Join the parts that are not polystyrene with super glue; ordinary cement for plastic will not bond them.
• Cut the surplus material off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and gently sand down the rest.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting and the paint will hold considerably better.
• Fit everything that goes into the cockpit before you glue the fuselage halves together.

Who it is for

The set suits modelers who are building the Bf 109G-6 in a small scale and want to upgrade the model without buying several separate accessories. Expect to work with small parts and to keep tweezers to hand.

This is an accessory for a kit. The aircraft model, paints and glue are not in the package, unless stated otherwise.
