Members Mikester Posted February 15, 2014 Members Share Posted February 15, 2014 Anyone know the origin of this aircraft? Erla, MTT or WNF? http://www.eagle-editions.com/eaglecals/32/bf-109s-click-to-view-all-available-markings2012-10-08-13-53-58_4/eaglecals-80-32-bf-109-g-10s-detail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Mike, The only photo known to me is inconclusive. http://www.jg300.de/mysteries.html If I had to make a guess, I would say Erla G-10 for a couple of reasons. The shape of the upper cowl at the rear and the position of the gun trough seems typical for Erla, and the hole over the luggage compartment has the more open and rounded curve at the top. Furthermore, JG300 received a lot of the Erla G-10's. The detail and colour of the Wappen and the choice of green for the tactical number seem highly speculative, although granted that the Eagle Editions people have much wider access to those who could confirm these specifics. HTH, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikester Posted February 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2014 Steve, I was leaning towards an Erla machine too. Looking for something a bit off the beaten path for my Revell G-10, I think I can get away with this scheme without too much guilt! Thanks!

mhorina Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Steve & Mike, The old Broken Eagles 2 calls it out as Blue. Its the same photo that you gave. That's not my feeling just some trivia. But I do agree that it probably is a Erla though because of the top of side panel being almost a straight line where the panel is missing in the back of the cowl gun panel. Though the painting on the Eagle Editions sheet is a more accurate depiction of the color separations compared to the color profile in the Broken Eagle Mike Horina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yes.. I'd go for Erla too, the image in Broken Eagles is quite a lot clearer and the open lower cowl seems to have the wider squarer look of the Erla product... Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonattack Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Good looking scheme. I have very little reference on the Wild Sau, save for the Osprey book. (My error, I actually have the JG 400, not 300, book.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Farrel Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That's not an Erla built G-10. The oil filler hatch on the nose is in the lower position indicating a G-14/AS. The general look of the camo is more in the style of Mtt Regensburg IMHO. /Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
