Tamiya 1/48 Scale Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 & Kübelwagen Type 82 Model Kit

With over 30,000 produced, the Messerschmitt Bf109 is the most prolifically manufactured fighter in history; of its variants, the G-6 was the most numerous at 13,000 aircraft. In response to improving Allied foes in the air, Bf109 G aircraft had the more powerful DB605 engine, and from the G-6 were equipped with dual 13mm MG131 machine guns that required the distinctive bulges on either side of the cockpit cowling known as "Beule." Some were even given a 20mm cannon gondola under each wing for further improved firepower. The Bf109 G-6 was deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts, as it continued in service through to the end of WWII.

A true all-rounder, the versatile Kübelwagen was employed by German WWII forces on all fronts, in a variety of roles including transportation, communications and even reconnaissance. It used as a base the "people's car" that had originally been designed for civilian use, and its simple, lightweight design - in combination with exemplary reliability - was underpinned by an air-cooled engine and a forgiving 4-wheel independent suspension setup.
