Hi, I am "putting together" a 1/72 scale Bf 109G-14 from a miss packed
Heller kit of the Bf 109 K-4 that had a late G fuselage in the box rather
than the K fuselage..... all well and good as some late G-14's had the large
wheels and rectangular wheel bay bulges... at least according to the
Squadron Signal In Action book which I am happy to go along with.
The problem I have is finding photographs or decal sheets of such an
aircraft in use. I don't have a large budget but I am sure that I can manage
to replicate markings for almost anything other than unit badges that may
have been applied to such aircraft.
I look forward to your replies

Have a look at Eagle Cals Sheet No 43.
http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=EAG4843&PIC_NO=1

It features Bf109-G14 W.Nr. 512428 Yellow 10 of 3/JG77.

The addendum instruction sheet confirms the W.Nr. which some sources quote
as 512429. It also states that the wheel bulges are believed to the the
larger size. There are no unit markings on this scheme, so it should be easy
to replicate. One problem is that the aircraft has the earlier short tail.

Hope this helps.

provideing lots of information even though there is not a late G-14 with
large wheel bulges amoungst them.

would be a good reference sorce ?

Thanks in advance

Gondor.

    Best current reference is Schiffer Publications "The Messerschmitt
Bf-109 F, G & K Series" by Jochen Prien and Peter Rodeike. ISBN #
0-88740-424-3.
    I believe this is still in Schiffer's catalog.

I may be off the mark here,but I thought I'd heard that early releases
of the Heller 109K were actually a late G,which was corrected
later.Could this be what you have?

Hi eyeball,
That is exactly what I have, tall wooden tail with two external trim
tabs, breach bulges on the cowling and large rectangular wing bulges for the
later wide tires.
What I am looking for is references for markings as so far everything I
have looked at is for the majority of the G-14 production where as the
larger wing bulges were only on a few late production aircraft.

Regards

Gondor
