Black Horse Messerschmitt BF 109G 2255mm (89") Wingspan - ARF

Messerschmitt BF 109G 2255mm (89") Wingspan from Black Horse - Balsa Wood ARF - BHM1018-001

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft of World War II. Introduced in the 1930s and developed through numerous variants, the Bf 109 became known for its compact design, powerful inline engine, enclosed cockpit, and retractable landing gear. Its unmistakable silhouette and long combat history have made it one of the most iconic warbirds of the era.

The Black Horse Messerschmitt Bf 109G captures that classic WWII fighter presence in a large-scale ARF with an impressive 89" wingspan. Its long nose, narrow fuselage, distinctive canopy, and aggressive stance create a commanding warbird profile that looks fantastic on the flightline and delivers serious presence in the air.

The airframe is built from precision laser-cut balsa and plywood, strengthened with robust glass and carbon laminated structural components for added rigidity and durability. This reinforced hybrid construction gives the Bf 109G the lightweight performance expected from a traditional wood ARF, while adding the strength and confidence needed for a large, powerful warbird. Factory-applied printed covering adds panel lines, rivet detail, markings, and weathering, giving the model a convincing scale finish right out of the box.

Designed for either gas or electric power, the Bf 109G allows pilots to choose the setup that best matches their flying style and equipment preferences. Included electric retracts with CNC-machined oleo struts, functional flaps, a detailed cockpit with pilot figure, large access hatches, and removable plug-in wings round out the model, making this large-scale Bf 109G a standout addition to any serious warbird collection.

Iconic Fighter Profile The Bf 109’s long nose, compact fuselage, landing gear stance, and distinctive canopy create one of the most recognizable fighter silhouettes of World War II. In the air, this large-scale ARF captures that classic profile with convincing warbird presence.

Reinforced Structure with Easy Access Large removable hatches reveal the Bf 109G’s robust internal structure, built from precision laser-cut balsa and plywood reinforced by glass and carbon laminated components. The open layout provides easy access to batteries, fuel tank, receiver, and electronics, making installation and maintenance more convenient for gas or electric setups.

Scale Retracts and CNC Oleo Struts Included electric retractable landing gear with CNC-machined oleo struts enhances the model’s realism, operation, and ground presence. The scale landing gear system helps complete the warbird look while supporting confident takeoffs and landings.

Printed Scale Detail and Weathering The factory-applied covering features printed weathering, rivet detail, panel lines, markings, and stenciling across the airframe. The result is a convincing scale finish that gives the Bf 109G an authentic warbird appearance right out of the box.

Detailed Scale Cockpit A painted cockpit with pilot figure, instrument detail, and framed canopy adds an extra layer of realism to the Bf 109G. These scale touches help bring the aircraft to life whether parked on the flightline or making low passes overhead.

Large Scale, Serious Presence With its impressive 89" wingspan, long fuselage, and unmistakable fighter stance, the Bf 109G makes an immediate impression on the flightline. This is a large-scale warbird that looks every bit as commanding on the ground as it does in the air.
