109 fan Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 This is the new Tamiya Gustav. I've described the build and some comparisons with the Fine Molds kit here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/72nd_aircraft/tamiya-bf-109-g-finally-t10800.html When all is said and done, I like this kit very much. Both it and the FM offering have their advantages, but this model is a generation newer and it shows. The new Exito Decals performed very well and they are to be commended for releasing this esoteric subject.

Habu12 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 What a flight that was too. Imagine flying in a cramped radio compartment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Totally awesome model – it could be just any (larger) scale! And the kit looks like a real winner. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
