PRODUCT INFO
This is a Corgi 1:72 scale diecast model of the Messerschmitt Me109G-6 (Trop), finished as flown by Maggiore Antonio Vizzotto, commander of 150º Gruppo, over Sicily in July 1943.
About this model
The subject is a Luftwaffe-built Bf 109G-6 handed over to Italy's Regia Aeronautica as part of Operation Husky. A good deal of the original factory camouflage stays visible beneath the Italian insignia and theatre markings applied once the aircraft changed hands.
Look out for the Verde Oliva Scuro overpaint across the rear fuselage, along with the under-wing cannon gondolas added to give the fighter extra punch against Allied aircraft. It arrives ready-made in a collectors box rather than as a kit needing assembly.
