titan8251 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Okay, I don't think I dig the mottling as much. Looking at the Revell instructions and online pics, I hope I'm close. Not sure if I am going to slap on some RLM 02 on the sides like the Revell instructions say to. Anyway here are the pics: Andy sandokan and AlexM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just realised... I thought that Hartmann's Erla machine had the small wing bulges, not the ones as supplied in the kit? Or did he have two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure man.....actually all this stuff makes my head hurt with all the different variants and what ones had wooden rudders, panel line here foot warmer here, coffee maker here etc. lol Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) ok I am not I sure know myself (don't listen to me!) but here are the pics i am talking about - i think they are fairly well known, but i saw them here: http://falkeeins.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/erich-hartmanns-last-bf-109-g-10.html we just need one of the 109 experten to interpret them what do you think?

When Matt Low and myself did the review of the Revell G-10 at LSM one one of our complaints was that Revell kit didn't include both wing bulge styles since both were commonly seen on the Erla G-10. If you're feeling ambitious at some point in the future, the AMUR Reaver G-10 cowl correction set will actually fit the G-6 kit, so yo can do one with the smaller wing bulges and have a cowl that's a little more accurate then the OOB version. Of course BarracudaCast makes the small wing bulge inserts in resin as well. Regardless, doing a great job on this one, really looks good!

So should I put the RLM 02 mottles then? Andy No, at this point in the war RLM 02 was pretty much phased out. Stick with 74/75 for your mottles.

nmayhew Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Follow what Mikester says and you can't go too far wrong He's ‘Der Mottelmeister' FYI the review he mentions very modestly was one of the most comprehensive done you'll see of any kit Such a shame the pics all fell the grim reaper of photobucket, but it's testament to its quality that it still has value just as text mattlow and Mikester 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
