Black Tulip…1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-10 Erla, I./JG52
#28/2020 and the last one for this year
Eduard kit, upper wing and fuselage Balkenkreuz decals taken from a Fw190 kit because Erla G-10 had smaller ones, besides that the ones on the upper wings were in a slightly more outward position. Brake lines done with plastic rods and lead wire, EZ Line for the antenna wire. My dad didn´t adress the other kit issues. Eduard goes for RLM 75/82 camo but usually Erla G-10 had the standard 74/75 until the end. AK Real Color paints used for 74/75/76. JaPo, Kagero und Ullmann´s book used as reference.

Very nice 109, Reinhard.
Those exhaust stains are really great.

Another really fine example from the Spreitzhofer family.
Paintwork and weathering are outstanding!
