Reelo Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Started to build this today. As I've already built the G-6 the kit is familiar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reelo Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wings and fuselage mated today. All cowling seams filled/sanded/rescribed (badly ;-) )Also notice I beefed up the supercharger intake lip a bit. Now I need to wait for my Barracuda small-bulge wing parts to arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Farrel Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That's a nice one! Certainly a striking scheme, it was a real surprise when the photo proving the tulip surfaced! /Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad one can only guess if the underside was full RLM 76 or partially bare metal. And a view of the rudder would also have been nice. As far as I know, Revell's provided W.Nr. is only an educated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Farrel Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes, I've done a profile of the aircraft and one thing I can't decide on is the size of the fuselage cross. The earliest Erla G-10's had regular sized crosses while the later ones had a smaller version, around 800mm in size rather than 900mm. If the cross is the larger version then the under surfaces were most certainly all RLM 76. In my latest rendition I used a small fuselage cross but I'm having doubts again... Anyway, the top camouflage is likely RLM 74/75 rather than 75 and dark green. Here's my take on it. http://theprofilepaintshop.blogspot.se/2011/09/erich-hartmanns-bf109g-10.html Anders EDIT: I've been staring at the fuselage cross so much that I failed to notice the wing crosses in standard size and position which certainly could be a hint at an early example with all RLM 76 under surfaces. Better update that profile again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the top camouflage is likely RLM 74/75 rather than 75 and dark green. Oh I have that profile bookmarked, I wasn't aware that was you! Guess I might have to paint it 74/75/76 then though I find VMC's versions of the first two very very low contrast. Might have ro mix 75 a bit lighter. I read some place that the plane might not be from the 491xxx but from the 490xxx batch. Did Erla have abandoned their zigzag camo by then already?

Cpt_Farrel Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 There seems to be some large fuselage crosses spread out during the production time, but I've only seen large upper wing crosses on early ones which would make the 490 range likely. One should never say nerver when it comes to Luftwaffe stuff though. The saw toothed camo was gone by the time the G-10 entered production but sometimes the flowing lines of the basic wing pattern was sprayed very angular which created a stepped demarcation line that somewhat resembled the saw tooth pattern although the steps were much larger. The same can sometimes be seen on the fuselages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelo Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Quick update: resin parts installed. Had some gaps at the wingroot, difficult to fill/sand, but it's ok. "Primed" the bird with RLM 76 (Tamiya AS-5) now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
