The “Bf-109G” was a direct follow-up to the Bf-109F. The “Gustav”, as it came to be known, was fitted with the still more powerful DB-605 series engine, which was effectively a DB-601 with bored-out cylinders, higher compression, and 1,082 KW (1,450 HP) for takeoff. The new engine was heavier and generated higher torque, requiring airframe reinforcement and modifications. Some Gustav variants also featured a pressurized cockpit. Initial deliveries of the Gustav began in early 1942. This is the same engine used in our Me109 (Bf-109G). It is 1:15 scale, the same as the airplane model and comes with a black walnut base and a leaded glass case.
