1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-14/AS, Oblt. Ernst Scheufele, Staffelkapitan 14/JG4?

[Lucky13]

Well, to make a long story, I'd bought this Ventura set, V3251, in 1/32 from Aviation Megastore, until that I saw that they've refunded the money for it...

So, if any of you see this bird, or more correctly the decals for it in 1/32, Messerschmitt Bf 109G-14/AS,
Oblt. Ernst Scheufele, Staffelkapitan 14/JG 4, Finsterwalde Germany, October 1944...

(Model is by Randy Lutz)

It'd tremendously appreciated, if you gave us a howler...

Will do Jan but something looks very wrong with the lines of that model.

Cheers Andy, appreciated!

Here's the link to the build....Messerschmitt Bf 109G-14/AS by Randy Lutz (Revell 1/32)

Seems the picture was shortened or there's lens distortion but maybe that's just me.

It's the alcohol or lack of thereof.....or bacon!

Found a close-up photo showing the aircraft from the "13" forward and the name below the cockpit is a little too far forward. The model is also lacking a mast behind the cockpit. Holler and I'll send you the photo.

Holler!!!

How does this profile compare to the photo?

 

[fubar57]

On it's way and that profile looks pretty bang on.

Being the OLD Revell kit i'm not surprised it looks a bit off...

Never seen them decals in 1/32 Jan...but if I do....

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers gentlemen!
Appreciated!

That looks like a Claes Sundin profile which is why I'll accept the fuel triangle appearing to be over the code number I guess the triangle was masked when the number was applied.
Cheers

I think the odd appearance of the tail is caused by the rudder that is attached higher than is should have been. I have used the Photoshop for cutting out of the rudder and moving it a little bit down. The difference is noticeable although it is still looking a little bit incorrect methinks.

Also I have found the shot via the net.

You know when you have those moments....did I get it or?
Just had it with my Hasegawa 1/32 Bf 109G-14/AS and the decals for Scheufele's 'Black 13', so I had to dig it out!!
Needless to say....

 

[Wurger]

So again 10 next to 13.

 

[Lucky13]

That is true my friend!!

 

[Lucky13]

Well, there better not be another Bf 109G-14/AS out there....

But, can you turn any of these....

....into one of these?
What is the difference between a G-10 and a G-14/AS in panellines etc.?

 

[Lucky13]

I just noticed that the above profiles aren't identical, there's some differences....would this mean two different G-14/AS machines or just two artists different approaches or information?
The tails are different and so is the engine cowling and oil cooler....
