Bevan, I did have some issues with the wing inserts. I wish the casting block would have been outboard rather than inboard, I think this would have simplified things considerably since it would have given you a nice flat surface to mate up against the fuselage. They sat a little high too but that could have been my fault. Next time I do an Erla G-10 with small wing bulges I'm just going to use a G-6 and the AMUR Reaver nose, I think that's the easiest, most accurate route on this one.

Thanks Jeroen! I do four a year like clockwork. I wish I could get more in, I'll shoot for five this year!

Well here's my second go-around on the Revell Erla G-10. I'm a little happier with this from an accuracy standpoint since addressing the MG cowl spacing makes a big difference. This kit builds up nicely out of the box but I had a lot of issues with filler not cooperating on me when I grafted the Hasegawa cowl section on, finally switched to gap filling super glue which did the trick and which will be my go to filler from here on out. The Aries cockpit also threw off the fuselage width so I had to insert some shim on the lower wing to close the gap which was no surprise since it was Aries. The aftermarket laundry list includes: Aries Cockpit HGW Seatbelts BarracudaCast Spinner and Propeller Blades BarracudaCast S/C Intake and Exhaust Stacks BarracudaCast Wheels BarracudaCast Small Wing Bump Inserts BarracudaCast Oil Cooler Quickboost MG Forward Cowl Section from a Hasegawa G-10 used to correct spacing of gun troughs on cowl. Eduard Brassin Landing Gear Paint as always is Mr. Color and markings are Montex masks and kit decals.

Revell has always been real good about providing me with replacement parts, good luck!

I get some weird stuff to occasionally too. Try turning off that little switch in the upper left hand corner (that enables just regular HTML), that works for me sometimes. That's a great looking Dora!

Outstanding Gustav!

That is just a superb piece of modeling, Ralph! Dammit! :unworthy:

Great subject, Rog! Would you mind if I moved this to the Large Scale Luftwaffe WIP section? This GB is scheduled to end tomorrow so I don't want this one to get lost in the shuffle.

Most impressive!

if you haven't voted, do so now or forever hold your peace, or wait until next year at least!

Great stuff, Arno!

Welcome, Mauricio! That's a great looking 109, superb job on the paint!

Sublime!

Dammit that looks good!

I got mine through Amazon from the states, I've got the advantage of having a military address to send to.

Tell me about it! If resin was a controlled substance I'd be the next Tony Montana!

Hey Mike! Not sure when I'll be in SoCal in the near future, two years left in Japan and I'll be moving back to SD in December of 2017.

Finally got the paint on the Revell kit, the Montex mask set had the tulip for the nose included but it just didn't work out too well so wound up doing it from scratch. I lightened up the RLM 75 since the late war version of this color seems to be more pale than the mid-war version.

Good thing they're cheap!

Just gorgeous, perfect execution all the way around!

Ralph, just superb all the way around!

Nice review, Jeroen. Having these in my stash I can attest that these are really nicely done and a worthwhile upgrade to your Revell (or Hasegawa or Trumpeter) 109.

John, has to be one of the absolute best builds I've seen of this kit, just exceptionally well done!
