The model depicts the Messerschmitt BF-109G-6, designated in Finnish markings as “Mersu.” This aircraft, produced by Germany, played a key role in the Finnish Air Force during World War II.

The “Mersu,” one of the most effective Axis fighters, was used by the Finnish Air Force from 1943 until the end of hostilities in Europe. The fighter gained fame thanks to the numerous successes of Finnish pilots, who—despite the numerical superiority of the enemy—achieved excellent combat results on the Eastern Front, over Karelia, and in the defense of Helsinki.
