Messerschmitt BF-109G2 Trop “Black 1″
| Interior | Exterior | Paint | Construction | Figure | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B- | B | B+ | B- | C- | B+ |
Overall not an average.
The BF-109G2 Trop is one of BBi’s best, the paint applications bring out all the incredible surface details and the above and beyond engine compartment and cockpit details amaze you… at least until the plane falls over if nudged. The figure, despite being a pack in, should use the standard articulation of BBi action figure line-up. A solid purchase.
What the heck? Rivet counters i tells ya… Excellent review!

On this website, the illustration of that plane has some long cannons on there, what are those? They look like they might be 20mm cannons, or something similar to .50 cal guns used on American fighter. I was wondering if those would be the guns they would add to the two larger holes. I know the five square holes would be used for additional drop tanks.
These holes would allow them to do variations and repaints very easily.
Nice review. I’d like to add that Bbi neglected to add the sunshade mounting brackets just forward of the canopy on the port side of the fuselage, and that the G-2s weren’t equipped with 20mm MG 151/20s, and that those holes in the wings are probably for droptanks for a G-2/R1 long range variant.
