Werdna Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi all This is my attempt at Bf109G-14/AS 'Black 3' of 5./JG27, which was excavated in 2016 near Wittenburg. No pics of the machine exist, AFAIK, but Claes Sundin created a profile based on details from the excavation. I'm not a huge fan of the Fujimi kit but it went together without too many issues. 'Black 3' seems to have had a rather 'unusual' scheme, with a single fuselage colour which also wrapped around the underside. Whether the scheme is accurate or not - who knows - but I went with it anyway as I quite liked it.. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerR. Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Cool, a model based on a profile based on debris. But it looks good, so it`s ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a youtube clip of the excavation, and apart from a few major items (engine, prop blade, etc) not sure there was much else to identify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Splendid work. A build up Fujimi kit is quite a rare sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 That's very nicely done, great camo scheme and finish, but I can see why there isn't a dearth of Fujimi 109s on the boards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the Fujimi kit. The shape is not entirely accurate and seems to have been designed for people with three hands. I still have a Fujimi K-4 to build at some point, although I'm in no hurry... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Once again, Werdna, you've pulled a diamond out of a sweep's earhole. That doesn't look like the greatest kit in the world but you've done a great job on it. That colour scheme is pretty unusual and very eye-catching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain Erla batch was like this, so I presume the werk nummer was known profile based on other similar airframes and this old chesnut, which is rather like yours. as well as some from a rebuild unit. Details are in the most recent JaPo, Messerschmitt Bf 109s & Other Aircraft of I./EKG(J) https://japo.eu/products.php?prod=21 There is a colour shot showing this...now where was it.... ah, got it which maybe of interest neat model, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 A very unusual scheme, to be sure, but entirely likely, given what was going on at that point of the war as well as the posted photos. Not up on the 1/48 Bf-109 kits, but it sure looks like a G-14 to me! Nice model! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafetyDad Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 That's a neat model there - well done! SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
