Me Bf109 G8 Bärwolf - part 2

[Clint Mitchell]

Yeah, no worries, go for it. It would be interesting to know the source of the photos from your author which incidentally show a Yellow 13 on them whereas the Prien photo does not. Although the Prien photo was actually from Bärwolf? Posted by Jochen Prien on LEMB here:

"And I may add that I was contacted back then in 1984 by Adalbert Bärwolf who told me his story, refererring to a newspaper article in the German newspaper DIE WELT for which he was working as a free lancer, which dealt with his sortie on June 6th, 1944, over the allied landing beaches. He gave me this photo, the only one he had showing his Messerschmitt, and a number of photos showing the pilots of 3./NAG13 in France in the summer of 1944.

From what has since come to light I have no reason to doubt that Bärwolf's photo does in fact show a Bf109G-6 or Bf109G-8 of 3./NAG13 in France in the summer of 1944; whether it is really his "yellow 13" remains a matter of trusting Adalbert Bärwolf's information."

Thank Clint for your interesting post, and I'm waiting for the article for which I'm preparing the profile. I hope to have more informations on this subject. At the end, it was for me, the occasion to show to Simmers Paint Shop community my way and steps to make a Bf109G and get from you very useful comments !. It was a nice WE !
Now, I have to go back to my vehicles next projects (Tiger, Churchill, Humber Mk. III, etc.....

Ja Hans-Jürgen, es war ein sogenanntes Klavierband

Yes, Hans-Jurgen, it was a so-called piano hinge

Hallo Heli.

die Technik wie die Jungs das so schnell "bemalen" finde ich ja toll. Ich habe da keine Hand dafür, das ist was anderes als ein paar nette Dreiseiten-Ansichten für Flugmodellbauer.
Aber "schön" zu sehen bei den Grundzeichnungen, dass eben auch die anderen nur mit Wasser kochen.
Ach so, deine Bf 109 Zeichnungen gefallen mir noch am Besten. Ich meine das Ernsthaft.

Bei mir wird jetzt ein "Storch" vergewaltigt, fange am Wochenende damit an. Muss noch zwei andere Dinge fertigstellen

Gruß

Just to throw more in, the hinge may be straight but if it's in a recessed area the upper cowling line may not be straight-

It looks like it dips down some starting around the guns. There are better pictures of this area, but I'm at work

Thanks BLOWHARD for your intervention on this point , personally, it was a detail but your comment with the photo close this topic...
