Besides the Slovakian Bf 109 I also have this kit

From what I've been able to gather from another review is that this is a re-box of Academy's G-6 kit with the taller tail of the G-14 added. My question is, looking at the sprues, what is needed to keep this as a bog standard G-6? If needed I can take closer photos of the sprues. I did read in another build that the windscreen is too narrow. Off to PG shortly and I'll do a test fit when I get home. If it is, that may be the deal breaker unless I have one in the spares

All depends on the period of the time the G-6 was assembled. I mean early,mid late 1943 or 1944. Also you may check on the Academy G-6 kit and its instruction. If the basic sprues are the same you can find out what parts you may use.
 
Thanks Terry. I did a test fit of the windscreen and as with the build I read, the windscreen is too narrow by just over .5mm on either side. The Eduard G-6 duo combo has a plethora of windscreens and canopies so I'll have a look at what's what tomorrow
 
So here is a question that may open this up a bit more. Will "minor nations" include those who flew under British colors. ie Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, ect.. squadrons, GB commonwealth squadrons NZ, Australia etc...? I know many can be done under BOB but many can be covered later in the war and around the world!
