Live_bait Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Finally there she is, Hans Langer mount as depicted in the EagleCals EC132. The scheme is quite standard except for the white color fuselage band and rudder which along with the big white 12 make the aircraft look quite attractive. Painting strategy with pre and post shading allow me to give volume with different filters and shades. The kit, well there are different opinions, but from my perspective it’s a great value for the buck, fit is very good though there are the fuselage joints on the fwd wing root which isn’t natural at all but can be solved with a bit of putty. Wheels are MDC and harnesses of injected plastic from Finemolds and beside the decals the kit is OBB. Hope you enjoy it.

Live_bait Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Thank you folks, appreciate the kind words. Allan, it`s a G-6. I know your next question will be why battery box protruding of aft cockpit bulkhead and the Erla Haube canopy. Well, this was a theory I thought of. Most of 109 with the booster MW50 system that lead to the relocation of the battery were G10s or G14s. In this case I thought that with such population of G6 operational and given the rush to have aircraft in the air, I think that may be some G-6 where modified with the MW50 system so the batery had to be relocated. That is why this G-6 looks like a G-14. Major Hartmann knowing that the G-14 and G-10 was on its way I suposed that he would have requested to incorporate such modification on his G6 while the G-14 and G-10 will become operational. Erla Haube canopy was seen on late production G6 as well. Hope it`s not a fantasy theory. Edited May 8, 2014 by Live_bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
