A Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6/R6, the mount of Hptm. Anton Hackl, Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 11. The fin and rudder of this aircraft have been painted white as an additional identification measure.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109F represented a transformation compared to the squared-off lines of the Emil. This sleek hunter now featured a new large aerodynamic spinner, streamlined cowling and rounded wingtips. The Friedrich was arguably the most attractive of all the Messerschmitt Bf 109 variants.
The installation of the Daimler-Benz DB 605 A engine in the Messerschmitt Bf 109G increased power, but an upgrade in armament, armour and options resulted in a corresponding increase in weight. The once-nimble fighter was becoming overloaded as more missions were demanded of it. Even so, the Gustav remained the workhorse of the Luftwaffe, with more than 12,000 of the G-6 variant alone being produced.
This book will deal with modelling the Augsburg Eagle from the introduction of the Bf 109F through to the Bf 109G-6 and G-14, the last of the variants fitted with the Daimler-Benz DB 605 A engine.

White 7, a Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 of JG 51. Of interest is the large eye on the gun bulge, the JG 51 emblem on the cowling, the overpainted fuselage band and the unusual position of the II Gruppe bar ahead of the aircraft number.
