Late War...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-14, Hauptmann Franz Wienhusen, CO IV./JG4
26/2023
After Eduard´s new K-4, my dad has finished another Eduard 109, this time a G-14.
Hauptmann Franz Wienhusen served with JG77 and JG5. In October 1944 he became CO of the IV.Gruppe, JG 4, and flew this Erla G-14. A partial pic of this aircraft with the typical Erla camo exists. On December 3rd 1944 he was KIA in a Regensburg G-10 near Aachen/Germany during ground attacks on an American convoy. The two aircraft are mixed up sometimes in profiles, models and infos.
Used the decals from Eduard´s Regensburg G-10 kit for Wienhusen´s G-14. Painted with Mr Paint RLM 74/75/76, EZ Line used for the antenna wire, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines.
Excellent finish and great photos. Well done.
This is a very good representation of the actual aircraft. The mottling is particularly well achieved. Well done!
Another Spreitzhofer masterpiece! Loved your build thread too!
That is simply gorgeous! You really nailed painting in particular the camo.
Beautiful work! 👍
Not my subject but I saw the first image and it stopped me there. A really nice piece of modelling, very clean and beautifully finished. Inspirational. Well done👍
What more to say, superbly done, Reinhard @grimreaper
Absolutely stunning! @grimreaper
Simply beautiful! Very clean build, and the paint work is gorgeous. I really appreciate the history lesson also. I've found it's not uncommon to see color profiles with the wrong markings. Research, research, research!
Great job!

Nice work on the mottling and the whole camouflage scheme.
Very good work on the subtle weathering.
Excellent build and finish, looks awesome!
Another beauty!
