This is 1/32 Revell Messerschmitt Bf 109G 10 Erla finished with the markings of “Green 7” from 11./JG300. Prague-Kbely in May 1945.

New Revell s Erla built G-10 is a nice kit but it needs some correction and modification.

Construction started from the cockpit as usual. I have used Aires cockpit set.  Components painted to RLM 66 . The fuel line that runs along the starboard sidewall is provided as a clear part by Revell and it is using in Aires set.

Due to lack of detail on the air scoops, I decided to replace them with Barracudacast cooling scoops.

Other modification and corrections are:

  • Barracudacast Exhausts

  • Reinforcement strips on the surface of the wings and horizontal tails are deleted.

  • Barracudacast Oil Cooler Fairing

  • Moving surfaces (ailerons and elevators) are replaced by the corrected parts from Alley cat set due to overdone large disks on the surface

  • Eduard Brassin undercarriage leg set

  • Barracudacast Bf 109G-10 and K-4 Prop and Spinner

  • Barracudacast Bf 109G-10 and Bf 109K-4 Main wheels

Painting made with Gunze Sangyo acrylics. Upper surfaces painted to RLM83 except for the engine cowling. Engine cowling painted to RLM75/RLM74/RLM76.

Lower surfaces painted natural metal color by using Alclad metalizers.

Decals are from Barracuda decals BC32145 Erla Bf 109 G-10s part 2.

Thanks to Anders Hjortsberg for his help on camouflage color.

Happy Modelling
