PRODUCT INFO
This is a Corgi 1/72 scale diecast model of the Messerschmitt Me109G-6 (Trop) as flown by Maggiore Antonio Vizzotto, commander of 150º Gruppo, over Sicily in July 1943.
About this model
The aircraft depicts a Luftwaffe-built Bf 109G-6 transferred to Italy's Regia Aeronautica during Operation Husky. Much of the factory-applied Luftwaffe camouflage remains visible, overlaid with the Italian national insignia and theatre markings typical of aircraft reassigned in this way. The rear fuselage carries Verde Oliva Scuro overpaint, and the model includes the under-wing cannon gondolas fitted to boost firepower against Allied fighters.
The model comes supplied in a collectors box, finished as a diecast piece rather than a kit for assembly.
