Zoukei Mura SWS25 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-4

The Most Mass-Produced Variant Among the Numerous Bf 109 Subtypes
Precise Reproduction of G-Series Differences！

The Bf 109 G-4 is one of the early models in the G-series (G-1 to G-4) and stands out for its distinctive operational use, including deployment as a photo reconnaissance aircraft in some cases. When not equipped with cameras, it could be fitted with various optional configurations such as R1–R3, as well as R4 (drop tank), R5 （MK 108 cannon gondola), and R6 (MG 151 cannon gondola), serving as a medium-altitude fighter.　This kit faithfully reproduces the G-4 in its R6 configuration, featuring underwing MG 151 gondolas and a desert-use Trop filter, based on thorough research of the actual aircraft. Although produced in limited numbers over a short period, the G-4 played a transitional role leading to the G-6 variant.

This kit accurately recreates even the subtle differences unique to the G-4. As you assemble it, enjoy discovering the differences between each variant of this legendary aircraft.

Of the many Bf 109 subtypes, the G type boasts the highest production numbers, and its many differences are reproduced in detail!

The Bf 109 G-4 is a unique subtype of the diverse G-type early series, from G-1 to G-4, some of which were used as photo reconnaissance aircraft. Without the camera, it could be equipped with R1-3, R4 (drop tanks), R5 (MK 108 integrated gondola), or R6 (MG 151 integrated gondola), and was also active as a medium-altitude fighter. Based on thorough research into the actual aircraft, this kit recreates the R6 version equipped with MG 151 integrated gondolas under both wings and the Trop version equipped with desert filters. While produced in limited quantities for a short period of time, the G-4 served as a transitional aircraft to the G-6, and even the subtle differences are beautifully recreated. As you assemble this kit, you'll be able to fully appreciate the differences between each version of this legendary aircraft.

Two types of color and markings are used!

One of the colors and markings is a Bf 109 G-4/R6 Trop "Black 1" in desert camouflage with sand filters, flown by Oberleutnant Franz Schiess, commander of 8./JG 53, at Tinja, Tunisia, in April 1943. The other is a Bf 109 G-4/R6 "Double Chevron", flown by Major Wilhelm Ewald, of Stab III./JG 3, at Kerch, Russia, in April 1943.

Both aircraft are reproduced in the R6 specification, equipped with the distinctive gun pods on the underside of the wings. Other details, such as spoked wheels and bulges on the upper wing surfaces, that are characteristic of the G-4, the early model of the G-type, are also faithfully reproduced.
