Extras : Eduard Masks and Etch Seat belts
For this Zombie build I have a pair of Revell Bf109G-2/G-4 Kits started earlier in the year when I first got them.
The first and Primary build is a Bf109G-2 Flown by The Gruppen Kommandeur of III/JG 5 Hauptmann Heinrich Ehrler.
Strangely and for some unknown reason, Ehrler was flying an earlier G-2 model at this time, he had previously flown a Bf109G-6 aircraft, 'Yellow 12' as Kommandeur of 6/JG 5
The primary photo of his G-2 shows the rudder of his aircraft carries a victory tally of 131 victories as on the 17th March 1944 he had scored 7 victories during the day, his 125th to 131st , therefore dating the image the same day or days after.
The decorated rudder had been transferred from his G-6 last showing 115 victories to the G-2 showing '100' within a large wreath and a now 31 white bars in 2 rows beneath.
The Second aircraft a Bf109G-4, will be done in parallel and in the background, this Bf109G-4, White 10 was flown by another well known 100+ 'Experten' Alfred Grislawski of 7/JG52.
With Grislawski's G-4 showing 100 Victories in Yellow on his Rudder, number '100' scored on the 27th April 1943.
