That is unlikely as the decal sheets are crammed full and also are already on their way to be printed.

 

Besides, considering what's visible in the only known photo I don't think one could be certain that there isn't a seventh tulip blade on the centre of the lower cowling.

If sprue I is omitted, we lose the small wing tyre bulges... these were the norm on Erla machines... That is a bit of a pain.... more cross kitting...

 

EDIT - sorry my mind must be going as this has already been commented upon.. :)

Not to worry, Matt, those large bulges can be used on a late G-6 or G-14. Would make an interesting variant, large wing bulges & short tail.

 

Cheers,

Cracking photo DB..!

 

Look at how rough the paintwork is... maybe I need to slacken my standards to match :)

 

I think one of the 109G-6s with the RLM76 or sky colour 'polka dot' camo has short tail plus large wing bumps....
