Category 3 Beginner....(I think, will use aftermarket decals and flattened wheel and possibly prepainted instrument panels...(HELP! Right category?)...)
Bf 109G-10 "Yellow 13" Pilot, Heinrich Bartels.
Bf 109K-4 "Yellow 13" Pilot, unknown.
Both are Hasegawa 1/48
OOB besides aftermarket decals, flattened wheels and prepainted instrument panel...
1 or 2 (G-10's) whichever I can find...and 3 (K-4) which I think I've ordered from Hannant's, still not received an order confirmation, have e-mailed them though.

Finding out more about Heinrich Bartels "Yellow 13" will fun, interesting and educational!

[lesofprimus]

Guys, if we're gonna do this right, the discussions on ur particular model should be put into a thread concerning ur specific build....

So, Chris, if u would, start a new thread titled "Me 410 B-1/U2/R4 by Njaco" and the specific questions can get answered there without cluttering up this thread....

 

[lesofprimus]

And u can put it in the Start to Finish Builds....

 

[Lucky13]

I'll start my thread as soon as I've got everything sorted...

 

[lesofprimus]

If doing multiple builds, I suggest doing a different thread for each build...

 

[Lucky13]

Right Dan, cool....was just going to ask about that. 8)

 

[lesofprimus]

Great minds think alike Brother Jan...

 

[Njaco]

Will do. Erich, I'm gonna post a question there about Tratt's machine that your response brought to mind. Oh, and Javelin, that mk of the Bf 109 should be fine but the boxart depicts Hartmann's machine I believe and he was on Eastern Front duties, not Reichsverteidigung.


Carry on.

 

[javlin]

Njaco would not that still be a defense of a front some had the W with bomber command and others the E with the advance of the Russkies??

 

[Njaco]

It actually was two seperate fronts until the last days. Reichs defense (Reichsvertiedigung) was more like a Luftflotte when concieved. The Eastern Front had its own 2 or 3 Luftflotte while the West had Luftflotte in Occupied Europe to defend and then the special Reichsver. over Germany itself. At least on paper.

Hartmann defiantely was on the Eastern Front though at the later stages it could be construed as defending the Reich.

Thanks, Dan. You guys will notice, I am not entering a model. You don't
have a class that I would fit into. You numbers don't go that high ! I'd
be in the "never built one before" class. I love those rubber powered,
balsa/tissue planes !

[Erich]

yes I will have to be one of the judges, building a model, man I cannot even think of the time frame that I last built up one - maybe elementary school for an aviation theme - must have been a B-24 I shot to pieces with an overugly Fw 190A-8 flying in behind covered in glue.

lets just say I will be more than available to help out with research going towards these very interesting builds

good luck to all !

[javlin]

Erich does Hartmann's plane on the E front work or do I need to go W?Also if I need to go W how about some Gruppe #'s so I know what I am looking for at the LHS.Kevin

 

[Erich]

Kevin it is up to you, my strong points are for the western front crates. I can hep you with gruppes if you so desire, JG 53 operated all the G and k variants of the 109. black fuselage band as standard fit in 45, if you want to do a G-14/AS, G-10 or K-4.

let me know......you have G-10's fitted in III./JG 300 as an example with blue/white/blue rear defense band. JG 4 III. gruppe flew G-10 and K-4 but on the Ost front but they still carried their western front defense band of black, white, black. just some x-amples for you.
