Hey Karl. Just noticed something in checking my references. According to Prien and Rodeike's book on late 109's and with reference to the profile in post 1, WNr 491200 is a G-10/AS and the profile in this book shows this production block to not have the radio mast. The aerial wire runs from the top of the fin down to the top of the fuselage just behind the canopy unlike the profile in post 1 that has the mast.

I'm far from an expert on late 109's so hope someone can chime in to confirm the correct configuration.

Not also that I've posted a question on red 15 here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/questions-kits-decals-tools-pilots/iv-jg-301-bf-109-g-10s-34679-3.html

you are reading my mind Andy, i intended to look into this very question now that the build is progressing !

the profile of yellow 7 came from bobbysocks after i contacted him for help with details, not sure where he got it from ?

 

[rochie]

ok here's the upper surface cammo done.

am going to go back and tone down the mottle a little it is a bit stark for my liking !

colours may look a bit off but that is my camera skills in bad lighting.

next up is the yellow/ red RV band

Should turn out well mate.
Have you got the book 'Augsburg's Late Eagles'? (I think that's the title - need to check).
If not, I'll have a squiz through it and see if there's anything there. If you haven't got it, let me know, and I'll send it to you, probably on a CD.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good Karl.

Karl

bobbysocks got the info off of yellow 7 because his own father Dale Karger of the 357th fg on 2nd of March 1945 shot the G-10 down, his gun-cam film shows details............we've chatted about this several times.
