Trumpeter is sort of a strange company......you have to watch carefully every time they release a new kit. They have had their issues with accuracy in the past (such as their F4F-4 Wildcat kit, which, to their credit was pulled from the market and necessary corrections made to the misshapen nose) and the disaster of the P-40B kit, with a cockpit one-third too small which ruins any chance of showing off the interior. But they restored themselves with the Me-262 releases, and this Bf-109G-2 is another winner. It really is a 109G-2, with the proper location and size of the airscoops up front, proper cockpit, properly shaped propeller blades,and appropriately-styled canopy used in the G-series aircraft. The Daimler-Benz engine is exquisite, consisting of over thirty parts and it even has separate, hollowed exhaust stacks. The side cowl panels can be positioned to show off this beautiful engine. The guns supplied with the kit also have hollowed muzzle openings (except for the engine-mounted MG-151 cannon, which you cannot see anyway.) The supplied tires are rubber but there is a separate tail wheel tire, so all the wheels are easy to paint and yes, I find the tires useable (they also have the early ribbed tread, too.) All in all, I'm very pleased with this kit and can't wait to get it started. Well worth the price and definitely worth building......arguable the best early G-series 109 in any scale, IMHO!Read full review
