1/48 Otaki Bf-109G-6
Before Eduard, Hasegawa,Fujimi and Tamiya began releasing their great kits of the Bf-109G-6, there was Otaki. Recessed panel lines and rivets, enclosed wheel wells and, while not accurate, cockpits.
Here's a couple I have built long ago.
First up, Bf-109G-6 of Hermann Graf. I think the rocket tubes are from the Hobbycraft kit, wheels are True Details. I forget where the decals are from.
Second, Bf-109G-6 of7./JG53. Decals by MSAP.True Details wheels.

Those Otaki kits were ahead of their time. Moe results with these.
Excellent results. Once the paint is on, it is hard to tell if it is a newer kit or not.
They look awesome, Brian @bzak
Nicely chosen schemes and perfectly applied.
Great job! With Squadron mail order back in business maybe I can get that True Details wheel set. I bought another Otaki 109G at a swap meet last weekend and those would be a nice replacement for the kit wheels.
Once again, my compliments for a job well done!
You have to replace the kit wheels. They look like tractor tires!
Barracudacals.com , Jim. Roy Sutherland makes great wheels and he has them for every 109 from the E to the K.
When I did these, True Details was the only game in town. Now, we are spoiled for choices.
Nice work, Brian. Great to see these old 109s.
Excellent works, Brian!
Lovely pair of 109's! Great work.
