Revell 1:32 Bf 109G-10 "Erla"
Mikester replied to Reelo's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Looking good! -
Just finished up the new(ish) Revell 109G-10 (Erla). Pretty impressed with the kit overall. The new fuselage design has done away with the fiddly cheek panels so fit is much, much better. Just used a spot of filler at the base of that tail and to blend in the upper cowl section, other than that everything went to together perfect. I decided to deviate from the instructions and build up the wings sections completely before mating them to the fuselage, wing root came out perfect and this makes riveting much easier. I'd recommend shelling out the extra bucks for the Eduard Brassin landing gear, they're a huge upgrade over the rickety three-part monstrosity from the kit. My only big gripe is Revell elected to only include the large style wing bulges which really cuts down the amount of schemes you can do OOB. I know Roy now makes an A/M replacement for the smaller bulges but it would have been nice to see these parts in the kit. Decals are BarracudaCals and paint is Mr. Color with the exception of my old standby for the NMF on the lower wings, Floquil Old Silver. Other goodies used: BarracudaCast Spinner and Props Eduard Brassin Exhausts Quickboost MG 131 Guns Quickboost Gunsight BarracudaCast Wheels Eduard PE Interior Eduard Laser-Cut Fabric seat belts Eduard Brassin Landing Gear Thanks for looking in!

Erik, this is not a real common subject on decal sheets. Although almost all of the Jagdgruppen in the West were moved to France shortly after the invasion it doesn't seem to be a real popular modeling subject, probably because it was a rather short campaign for the Luftwaffe. There are pictures of G-6/G-14s in France though, maybe Google it and if you find something you like try to cobble together decals for it.

Need sizes of code letters, Brit, luftwaffe, cross' & codes
Mikester replied to happy1's topic in Hints & Tips
Let me know how it goes for sure, I've been thinking of investing in one of these machines too. I really prefer masks to decals whenever I can use them. -

Mikester replied to happy1's topic in Hints & Tips
Paul, Nick pretty much nailed it, we need a little more info to help. The sizes of numbers and codes on LW aircraft varied considerably based on the type of aircraft, etc. There's just too many possibilities to give you a generic answer. -
