  • Reini78 changed the title to Black Tulip...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-10 Erla, I./JG52

Nice work Reini

 

I built one of these kits earlier in the year and while not being shake and bake it does build up into a nice 109. 

 

Your dads certainly doing it justice.

the Eduard decals are tricky, very thin, tend to wrap and are very elastic and tend to deform when moved around

the Erla G-10s usually had smaller Balkenkreuz on fuselage and upper wings so my dad used some smaller Fw190 crosses, furthermore Erla applied the upper wing crosses in a more outward position

My dad followed the Eduard decal instructions but when he compared them with the real aircraft he saw, that the upper two tulip leaves were positioned too much downwards. He could remove them and apply new ones (taken from another Eduard G-10 kit) in  the correct position.
