Looking good so far Bill. Could do with a few details about the unit etc being modelled. BTW, thanks, I always wondered where SMER kits came from!
The box says 8./JG 11. The pilot is listed as Ofw. Franz Meindl. The scheme is said to be for Operation Bodenplatte. The work number is 784765.
I'm curious if Smer has this info confirmed. I didn't find any photos of that crate but Eric Mombeek's site describes it as G-14/AS
I haven't found any pictures of Blue 11 yet myself. Blue 11 is the code on the 109. Hey, at least it is confirmed to be a G-14. I haven't gone through everything yet in the library either.
If you find out anything I am sure you will post it!
Thanks for the help. Dang, I wish I had had a site like this when I started modeling over 40 years ago!

The detail is correct, he was flying a G-14 Blue 11, and was an experienced schwarmfuhrer in 8/JG11, Meindl is still listed as MIA after the Bodenplatte mission.
