Barracuda Studios continues its love affair with Revell's 1/32 scale Bf 109 G kits with a drop-fit replacement standard tail wheel assembly.

 

 

In additon to clearly improved detail compared to the kit parts, this set is also presented with the leather boot cast in place.

 

 

The Revell kit does not include this boot in their kits.

This leather cover was commonly found on the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G fitted with the standard (short) tail wheel strut.

 

 

The tail wheel itself is beautifully done with crisp hub detail and raised cross-treaded seams. The tail wheel is subtly bulged and flattened.

 

 

Installation will be a simple drop fit replacement after a quick clean-up.

Although it is labelled for the Revell kit, it should be easily adapted to other 1/32 scle Bf 109 G kits too.
