The All-New 1:24 scale Messerschmitt!

November 7, 2025 By Francis Porter

Full details and pre-order on the Airfix website


We’re excited to reveal the latest addition to the Airfix range, our NEW MOULD 1:24 scale Messerschmitt Bf109G-5/G-6! Featuring 405 intricately detailed parts across 16 plastic frames, this is the most comprehensive and accurate Messerschmitt kit we’ve ever produced.
All Arifix news and builds on SMN website


Airifx Messerschmitt Bf109G-5/G-6

To make your build even smoother, we’ve included an exclusive pre-cut masking sheet for all glazed parts and selected marking options — including the iconic spinner spiral. Plus, you’ll find a 44-page full-colour instruction manual packed with technical details, scheme histories, and parts diagrams to guide you every step of the way!

Choose from five authentic schemes with schemes A, B & C representing a unique stage in the life of a single airframe — allowing you to recreate its evolution across multiple moments in history. Scheme D & E are entirely different airframes, both featuring German markings.

Build the Bf109G at any stage of its service life — and bring aviation history to life on your workbench.

Features:

  • Model can be built with or without the fully detailed DB605 engine.
  • Engine cowlings and oil cooler can be posed in open or closed position
  • Choice of two types of engine cowlings (MTT and Erla)
  • Canopy can be posed open or closed (two canopy types included)
  • Additional engine and cockpit parts included for G-5 (pressurised cockpit version)
  • Optional 300l fuel tank and wing cannon “Gondolas”
  • Ailerons, elevators and rudder can be offset to add life to the model.
  • Radiator and wing flap position can be customised
  • Many optional parts to suit specific aircraft builds, such as rudder pedals, gunsights, trim wheels, instrument panels, undercarriage wheels/tyres and windscreens
  • Detailed nose armament with machine guns, gun mounts and ammunition boxes included
  • Slide moulding used to allow the capture of fine detail on engine cowlings, fuselage, exhausts and gun barrels
