BUt more than a scheme is welcome. CRAZY IVAN5, HB252 and Dpgsbody55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that the pic you have with your postings ,I'd guess that that is an Erla built 109 judging by the camo scheme, the factories even had their own camo[ isn't that nuts!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wing patterns seem to be more regulated. And the sides, more down to the guys painting them, maybe. Late war chaos makes it a bit more difficult to find who flew-what-when... So, I just used a scheme I found on a skinner's site which had the nose and tail bands I'd wanted to do. I also wanted to master weathering yellow and other base colors. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, It's almost a "catch as ,catch can" type of thing, just makes our hobby that much more "interesting?" Weathering yellow can be tricky as the whole band or whatever doesn't weather evenly, gets kind of blotchy but I get what you're saying.G-14 production , in fact G production in general was to be kind "a mess", I always thought B-24 liberator production was a cluster[ and it was!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'm a bit late joining this, so if you'll excuse me going back to the topic, it's the FW-190 I'm waiting for. I haven't built one in many, many years so a new Z-M detailed kit is a must have for me. As to the next Z-M 109, I'll wait for the non-bump G series before I buy another. Haven't built the first one yet. Cheers, Michael Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Strange as it maybe ,I've yet to build a 190, EVER. I will have to see how this one is ,might take a chance. It'll be a hell of a learning curve for me as I know next to nothing about them . I trust people on here will "nurse" me through as they have on other things , you'll just have to be patient with me and my stupid questions. I do know the difference between a "Dora" and an 'A' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
