jean Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hi Steve, just found your thread. I dare say that the mention of 1/32 did not attract me at first. You are doing a great job indeed and a very commendable interpretation of tricky b & w photos. I built the Revell 1/48 G-10 years ago when it came out, and I chose the same aircraft, which then was meant to have belonged to JG 51 (I may stand to be corrected, as I am not quite sure any longer what I had for breakfast this morning...). I did paint it Braun violet (the RLM number eludes me at the mo... see previous mention about breakfast), with a green-white-green fuselage band and a green with white border 7 numeral on the fuselage... So it would seem that you eventually use a scheme that seems reasonable and fits a logical thought process. Whatever, I am still happy with my paint scheme, as I am sure you'll be with yours. Beautiful build! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Hi Jean The photo of Steve's 109 was around for a long time, but the photo had no information, so there were guesses as to the unit from the possibilities available,from the below it JG2, JG51 or JG300 (PS IIRC JG6 and JG 52 were assigned bands but did not apply them) later on information about where and when the photo was taken, Prague I think, and it was realised what units were there and it was a JG300 plane (IIRC...) PPS - some info here http://www.jg300.de/me109g-10erla.html saying there are more photos and the deduction process. Lovely job Steve, has come out really well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Checked this thread to find your 109 finished! Looks real neat. Congrats!!! I made this kit in the late seventies if my memory serves me right, and it is funny to see yours that is very similar, but not quite (color of the Reichsverteidigung bands and 7). Interesting to see how new knowledge alters even model making... Superb result! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
