A rarity for me....a Bf109 and this time it's a Revell G-10 Erla - Pretty Much Done.

Very nice mate, well done

Thanks for the comments!  It’s now in the RFI forum and this one’s in the case.

Turned out fantastic, Tim!  Looking back on the build, I noticed that the drain tube in the oil cooler intake was pointed out but it does not appear that you incorporated it.  Which is a good thing because, from my understanding, the drain tube was NOT present on Erla G-10's.

Beautiful build and excellent craftsmanship Tim!  You did a top shelf job airbrushing the mottling and the other painted areas to capture the look of a late war 109 very accurately.

Thanks and no, I did not incorporate the drain tube.  I only drilled the drain hole beneath the oil tank.  I saw on your build thread that someone pointed out that the drain  tube should not be present and through that and photographic confirmation, I verified it and didn't put one in.

Thanks Ernest, very much appreciated.  Thanks to you and Damian and other people's input, I managed to get the mottling to a point where I was happy with it.
