Bf 109 G-10 profile project

[Otterkins2]

Can you send a direct link to those photos Simon? There's a hundred or more to look thru at that addie. As far as the rear bulge is concerned, I've sent you an updated file.

@GFR: 109's are only for the brave or extremely stupid people who take it on. I'm afraid I fit into the latter category.

Hi Otter!

Thank you for the additional drawings you have sent me. As my Bf 109 G-10 ist still a WIP and I haven’t switched to the different factories it’s still not 100% correct.

Also it’s base for the K-4 profile. So if everything is fine I will change the things that are different from factory to factory.

It should be not so difficult to change the tail as the shape should be the same just the Flettner flaps have to be reworked.

I have really many of pics as reference, but in the internet it’s nearly impossible to find good pics. I haven’t found a single from Regensburg plant.

An Erla built plane:

Notice that on the left side of the fuselage there is no bulge between the air-intake and the canopy.

On the right side the plane looked like the ones built by Regensburg. So with the bulge.


Here a Erla built plane with wooden tail and Flettner flaps.

see the different style of the bulge under the canopy. The Reno “Yellow 13” is also a G-10/U4

Very nice colours !

[BLOWHARD]

According to my sources, no G-10 ever had a wooden rudder

I'll have to post it later but there is a clear view of a wood tail G-10 with a partial serial in one of the JAPO books.

I think with Luftwaffe stuff, never say never, there seems to always be an exception

BTW, for you 109 buffs, or Luftwobble fans in general, if you don't have all the JAPO books you can get, you're missing out IN A BIG WAY!

[BLOWHARD]

Almost forgot, NICE WORK SIMON!

[Baron]

Thank you BH!

Yes, if somebody is really interested in late war 109 you shouldn't miss the Japo books.

I own the one about G-10/U4 and K camouflage and markings. Hope to find the books 109s of JG 52 in Deutsch Brod and the older 109 K book. I have borrowed them at the moment.

Cheers,

[BLOWHARD]

Yep, they can't be beat. Their 190 book is the best!
I've got the JG52 book but I don't have the earlier K book...yet. I'll catch up to that one some day

[Otterkins2]

Thanks for the links Simon. Let's see what the folks at Chino have to say now....

[BLOWHARD]

The folks at Chino are a LONG way away from the primary sources, youbetcha
Some of those sources were behind the iron curtain until recently too.

[Otterkins2]

Thanks for clearing up the G-10 builds Simon. Lessee here...there's the Mtt build, the Erla build, and the WNF build. There's pobably also a Savoia build, a Grumman build and a Hawker Sidley build. Hell, maybe there's even a Mitsubishi build!!! If you folks don't mind, I think I'll go out back and shoot myself.
