Zvezda 4816 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 1/48 is an advanced plastic model kit that will delight every aviation history and scale modeling enthusiast. The model depicts the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 fighter aircraft in 1/48 scale, one of the most recognizable WWII aircraft. The G-6 version (known as "Gustav") was the third and most numerous production series of the Bf 109, introduced into service in 1943.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 was famous for its upgraded armament – characteristic "bulges" above the engine concealed modernized MG 131 machine guns with greater firepower. This aircraft was the main Luftwaffe fighter on all European fronts in the final years of the war. Its fuselage and wings provided excellent maneuverability, while the new Erla Haube canopy improved cockpit visibility. These models fought both on the Eastern Front against Soviet fighters and during the defense of the Third Reich against Allied bombers in the West.
