BoB GB 109E questions....

[109ROAMING]

Gonna be a few 1/32 109's in this GB

Terry's , mine, Dan's, Jan's...

Just the machine that's missing, already have the decals....

You could always scratch-build a '109 using the other decal sheets or kit boxes!

You guys have noticed that the fuselage cross on that 9./JG 54 machine is well worn? Ought to be interseting how ya'll do that! At 1/32 scale!!!

Just use a tin of Humbrol No.632 'Well Worn' paint........

Have seen some other '13' decals for early E's at Hannants....

 

[lesofprimus]

Not sure what u mean Chris.... I think the clarity of the scan is whats makin it look slightly faded...

We are talking about Yellow 13 with the stripes correct???

 

[Njaco]

Yeah, look at the first pic from the right side of the plane from the tail. The balkenkruez definately has some wear in the middle of it.

 

[lesofprimus]

Ah yes, now I see what ur talkin about... I would assume that that was messed up like that from the crash landing....

If not, we need some verification that it was indeed like that prior to the shootdown...

Will make it more interesting if indeed it was wear and tear....

 

[Njaco]

I couldn't really tell one way or the other. But now you guys got me thinking about doing a '13'. I have a 1/48 , 1/32 and a 1/24 Bf 109E but without an airbrush the painting of large surfaces will be daunting. WTH, I've got a few months!

 

[Lucky13]

Wear and tear, or maybe, even a piece of metal missing due to bullets?

Got this set for the BoB GB later this year. Thinking of getting Bar's 'White 13' too, most likely in the shape of Academy's new 1/48 E-3, which comes with his markings in the box, from Cartograf.....

Some here might say that there are no options..... I like the camouflage on the 'Black 13'. 8)

 

[lesofprimus]

LMAO Jan, white 2 that u posted up above has a set of red lips smoking a ciggarette.....

It's accurate too Dan there is a front pic showing it.

Keep going back to the JG54 and their 'Emils'. Was this camouflage used during the BoB? If that's the case, it gives me another possibilty to consider of the '109's....

 

[Airframes]

Well, JG54 were known for having a number of different schemes, although whether this was 'their' interpretation of orders, or official experiement is not clear. By the latter part of the BoB, and certainly after the 'official' end (31 Oct 1940), the scheme shown was being introduced, and later formed the basis of the 'snake skin' scheme seen on the 109E's and later the 109F's, in Russia.
