In my castle....
With the oil filler cap where it is, on the nose of the G-10, can you fill it rescribe and a new one lower down as it is on the later G-14 model, which a had the smaller oil tank. I imagine getting rid of the G10 filler cap, is no problem, easy enough to fill! Scribing a new one - is that possible, is there any scribing tools, or? Would it be easier to cut and paste the nose ring above intake.
....if one have any spares! 😉😆😂
 
Come to think of it....I could this set, as it has the oil filler in the right spot, just leave the rest of, right? 🤨🤔

Plus....doesn't the oil filler sit too far down on Trumpeter's G-10, for it to be correct....but in the right spot for G-14?

....or is it just an illusion?

This should be the difference between the two oil filling hatches.

IMHO what you show in the picture in post #3 is good enough without any further change.
See for example Eduard's part for the cowling of G-6/AS:

Don't forget to change the hatch for the cold weather starting device too. On G-10 it's higher positioned.

Here is Eduard's part for this side of the cowling of G-6/AS:

I started with these changes on a Revell Me-109G-10 (1/48) trying to build a G-6/AS out of it (or 14/AS:rolleyes:; the green 5, remember? the overall black one) but never finished the project. In the meantime Eduard brought its version on the market. Maybe it's time to revitalize mine?
Cheers!
