There are PLENTY of very nice and very well researched
colour schemes on BarracudaCals two
new sets of decal sheets that are just about to hit the market. We take a look
at each of the schemes and some of the sheets today in our preview…
Barracuda Studios two new decal sets in 1/32nd for the new Revell Erla built Bf-109G-10.
A few notes from Roy Sutherland about his two new sets of decal
sheets for the Erla built Bf-109G-10’s in 32nd scale.
The Erla Built Bf
109G-10 is not to be confused with a G-10 fitted with a Erla hood. This variant
had a completely unique engine cowling arrangement. The new Revell kit, which
is a very nice kit and, for the most part, quite accurate, is the first time
this variant has been kitted in injection moulded plastic.
Each sheet contains
SEVEN varied and interesting schemes for the Erla G-10. Exhaustively research
by Anders Hjortsberg with further assistance by other notable 109 experts,
these sheets reflect the very latest knowledge on the Erla G-10s. Anders has produced superbly detailed and
accurate profiles, and larger versions can be downloaded from the Barracuda
Studios website to assist you in recreating the fascinating camouflage schemes.
.Extensive and detailed painting notes highlight a number of interesting points
about the finish of these very late war Gustavs. For those wanting to know
more, there is a link on the sheets to Ander's blog, where much more in-depth
discussions of these aircraft can be found.
Decals are gorgeously
printed by Cartograf, and much effort was put into color matching. Each sheet
contains all the specific markings for all seven aircraft, along with 2 full
stencil suites and two complete sets of national markings and spinner spirals.
