Why this kit matters

Ilmari Juutilainen was the top-scoring Finnish fighter ace of World War II and the highest-scoring non-German ace of all time. He flew both the Brewster B-239 Buffalo and the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 with distinction. This kit allows you to build both aircraft that he flew, representing different periods in his career. The B-239 Buffalo, often maligned, proved surprisingly effective in the hands of skilled Finnish pilots against Soviet aircraft. The Bf 109G-6 was a mainstay of the Luftwaffe and a formidable opponent in the skies over Europe.

Build this kit to commemorate a true aviation legend! Display the two aircraft together to represent the changing face of aerial warfare during World War II. The included figure of Juutilainen adds a personal touch to your display.

How to use it

This kit requires careful assembly and painting. Use modelling tools to neatly separate the parts and ensure a precise fit. Pay close attention to the painting instructions to accurately replicate the camouflage schemes of both aircraft. The included figure can be painted to match Juutilainen's uniform.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
