Well, I have an extra Bf109 G-6 that never got its share of Stormo v. 2....

What's the difference between a G-6 and a G-10?

Hi Bill

You could keep the '109 Experten busy for a week explaining that properly, depending on the precise sub-variant , but the nose and tail and wing-bulges can all differ.

However, it looks as though there a couple of "tall-tail" 'G-6s included among the subjects on the sheets.

All the best

Anyone know if the Hasegawa G-6 in 32 scale is a "tall tail" or not?

Hi Bill

The one I have has a standard tail, but I think there have been a few releases. You should be able to tell from the artwork and parts, but failing that, what's the box-number on your kit?

All the best

Variously listed as ST17 and 08067.

Looking at the Stormo website, they list 2 G-6s for the set.
