This was my second build, Black 4 of the Croatian Airforce. Decals were from the kit which was entitled Axis Allies.

Black 4 was actually a G14AS but I didn't realise this until I found some photos. The aircraft had the small wheel bulges on the wings but unfortunately I'd put the large one on.
Paints are Xtracolor upper camo and Model Air undersides.

Thanks for looking

Messerschmitt Me 109 G14AS "Black 4" Croatian Air Force, Falconara Northern Italy 16th April 1945.

 
Great pic Simon, interesting. I have a feeling there was some damage done to that wire and someone rigged it like that to keep it out of the way. It seems to me that there's more slack in it than would be present if this aircraft was in a serviceable state. Of course, this could be my ignorance showing though - I've been wrong many times before.
 
Nice one.
I tend to agree with Andy about the reason for the antenna wire. In normal service, it would be above the DF loop - if it passed through the loop, not only would this create interference with the DF signal, but it could prevent rotation of the DF loop.
I'm guessing that, being what appears to be a captured aircraft, 'someone' re-attached a damaged wire.
