Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 Erla |
Revell's 1/32 Bf 109 G-10 Erla is available online from Squadron.com for only $23.96!
This is 1/32 Revell Messerschmitt Bf 109G 10 Erla finished with the markings of “Green 7” from 11./JG300. Prague-Kbely in May 1945.
New Revell's Erla built G-10 is a nice kit but it needs some correction and modification.
Construction started from the cockpit as usual. I have used Aires cockpit set .Components painted to RLM 66 . The fuel line that runs along the starboard sidewall is provided as a clear part by Revell and it is using in Aires set.
Due to lack of detail on the air scoops, I decided to replace them with Barracudacast cooling scoops.
Other modification and corrections are:
-
Barracudacast Exhausts
-
Reinforcement strips on the surface of the wings and horizontal tails are deleted.
-
Barracudacast Oil Cooler Fairing
-
Moving surfaces (ailerons and elevators) are replaced by the corrected parts from Alley cat set due to overdone large disks on the surface
-
Eduard Brassin undercarriage leg set
-
Barracudacast Bf 109G-10 and K-4 Prop and Spinner
-
Barracudacast Bf 109G-10 and Bf 109K-4 Main wheels
Painting made with Gunze Sangyo acrylics. Upper surfaces painted to RLM83 except for the engine cowling. Engine cowling painted to RLM75/RLM74/RLM76.
Lower surfaces painted natural metal color by using Alclad metalizers.
Decals are from Barracuda decals BC32145 Erla Bf 109 G-10s part 2.
Thanks to Anders Hjortsberg for his help on camouflage color.
Happy Modelling!
