BeaveringAway Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Hi all. My name is Andy and I am about to start on a 1/32 Zoukei Mura BF109G14 kit. I will be building a representation of a G6: YELLOW 13, flown by KLAUS LAMBIO of 9.JG300 in 1944. I am satisfied with my collected illustrations of colours and schema, but I cannot find a single photograph in books or google searches. Does anybody out there possess or have a link to PHOTOS of this aircraft? I would be extremely grateful. Gazzas, ArtMan Delta and williamj 3
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM Well, by the illustration you have , it would suggest an Erla built -109 which would mean it has the tall vertical tail and 20mm motorkanon and not the 30mm. To me the tip off is the camo [ kind of polka dot pattern ]. I haven't been able to dig up any additional info beyond what you have. The kit DOES have everything you'll need for the 20mm motorkanon install[ it's just not called out]. I've built 2 and they are very nice kits , enjoy! Out2gtcha, D.B. Andrus and Kagemusha 3

BeaveringAway Posted Wednesday at 06:04 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 06:04 AM Yeah thanks guys, it is as you say. I actually have all the background info I could possibly want, but slight variations exist between the three main illustrations I have on file, so really just looking for PHOTO evidence. Must be something somewhere because the illustrations are so detailed. I will keep trawling! Cheers.
thierry laurent Posted Wednesday at 08:00 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:00 AM Unfortunately I do not have access to my books but I'm ready to bet the reply is in one of the two JG300 books made by Lorant/Goyat and published by Eagle editions.

If one of your profiles happened to come from "The Profile Paintshop", reach out to the guy that runs it. I had some questions on a profile of his that I was modeling, and Anders shared a bunch of info, including pics I'd never seen before. He's a good guy. CRAZY IVAN5 1
BeaveringAway Posted Thursday at 05:33 AM Author Posted Thursday at 05:33 AM Thanks guys This is like in the movies where the detective says: "Follow The Money!" Doh! I'll get right on it, and also check out the Eagle Book. Cheers!
BeaveringAway Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago Hi Guys, Thanks again for your wisdom. The pic turned out to be illustrated by Claes Sundin, on commission for the Lorant/Goyat JG300 books, so general bullseye there! He was kind enough to supply me with two photographs and a hi res jpeg of his illustration. Since he is selling books of these pictures from his online shop, I offered him money but he was all thumbs up and a slap on the back. If any of you are interested I have started my work in progress blog here: Thanks again. See you in the line-wash!
