Marco Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hi! I´m looking for references for a G-6 flown by Fritz Ungar. I´ve looked through my books and got nothing. It´s Yellow 6 from JG54. The only picture I have is in the EagleCals instructions: EagleCals make excellent decals but their profiles are no good: Thank you!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 asisbiz has this Quote Messerschmitt Bf 109G6R3 9.JG54 (Y6+I) Friedrich Ungar WNr 440180 sd 56FG P-47s near Homfeld 6th Mar 1944 not the same plane as above, note the '6' is a different shape, so.... 4 hours ago, Marco said: EagleCals make excellent decals but their profiles are no good: the profile looks to be a good match to the reference photo, I've seen a lot worse. What's wrong with it? This might winkle out some of the more knowledgeable Luftwaffe buffs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that crashed 109 picture but the Yellow Six is much lower than the photo with the pilot sitting in the cockpit. The mottling looks very different too. The profile really isn´t that bad but I like using pictures specially when I get to see the other side of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't provide the other side of the profile, leaving the user on a guessing game when trying to mottle the other half of the aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One additional guesstimate is what plant built the aircraft, and what the typical scheme for that plant was see here http://theprofilepaintshop.blogspot.com/2013/10/chosing-correct-wingpattern-for-bf109g-6.html and then find other examples. @Jerry Crandall is a member, and maybe know more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a WNF ... thanks for the link! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
