Product Description
-The Bf109G type is a type developed since the Allied side has been rolling out new aircraft one after another, so it changed to the obsolete F type within a year.
-Points to be considered in development were improvement of speed, firepower, bulletproof equipment, practical application of pressurized cabin, and kitization of special equipment to widely adapt to missions.
-The aircraft itself inherited the F type that was aerodynamically complete, and the engine, internal equipment, and details were changed, and it was less troublesome to repair it in 1941, three months after the development started. In October, the predecessor mass production type G-0 was controlled.
-In 1943, bulletproof equipment of Allied military aircraft was also improved, and it became clear that the MG17 (7.92mm) machine gun on the nose had no effect.
-Therefore, an enhanced type was created from the MG17 machine gun to the MG131 (13mm) machine gun.
-In each case, the high altitude fighter type with a pressurized cabin was called the G-5 type, and the medium altitude fighter type with a non-pressurized cabin was called the G-6 type.
-Characteristically, a circular bulge overhangs the upper surface of the nose to clear the empty shell case of the machine gun.
-More than 10,000 G-6s were produced, partly due to the intensifying war and the peak of aircraft production.
-This is the highest production volume recorded across all Bf109 models.
-But it didn't take long to get the G-6 model out of date.
-Also, because the development of the successor machine was delayed, we decided to revive the G-6 type by a simpler method.
-The engine was converted to DB605AM with MW50 power boost system and 96 octane C3 fuel was used. It was called G-14 type.
-In addition to new production, the G-14 type has many regenerators from the G-6 type, and there are various variations in the external type.
-Among them, Ella Haube and the large vertical stabilizer were the most standard features.
