Hello Vlad,

The MG-bulge of the Bf 109 G-Series is not higher than the engine cowling.

greeting

That was quick!

I think you need to put a little more emphasis on the line work forward of the firewall where you would expect to see removable engine inspection panels,
as it stands there is no discernible difference between them and regular panel lines.

These panels seem to be ill-fitting at the best of times. Certainly never the seamless fit as depicted.

Same goes for the canopy opening.

Hi GiantFlyingRobot,
With aircraft profiles, I always pay attention because of my habits with tanks and vehicles and my weathering technik (it can be too much for aircrafts...)
Here is the update, thanks !

Turns out it is Yellow 13. Peter D. Evans has posted a photo of the aircraft over on LEMB here.

hmm if the plane on profile and the photo is the same...check the exhaust pipes covering, and possibly color on the spinner? I do not see the black part on the photo...

[Wlad-FR]

On the last Clint's picture, spinner is in movement and colors are mixted. I confirm, spinner is 3/4 black and 1/4 yellow (?). See first picture posted.
Check the exhaust pipes covering on the right.

The two aircraft which I'm unsure if they Are the same? also have another difference. The spinner in the photo I posted has a black or RLM70? coloured section/band around the back of the spinner. Whereas the Bf109 in the photos supplied by your author does not have such a band on the spinner?

[Wlad-FR]

It could be...now with no additionnal document, we can just make hypothesis and have fun with profile drawing
