John Bardwell (johnb593) has sent us some images of his very nice 1/32 scale Bf 109G-14/AS. This is a modified version of the Hasegawa Bf 109G-10 Nacht Jäger kit.

great looking model John !

..as its a JG 300 subject I feel bound to add some additional info ..hope you don't mind!

'green 3' was Lt. Willi Trabert 's G-14/AS assigned during late 1944 at Mark Zwuschen when Trabert was Staffelfuehrer of 11./JG 300. His a/c was equipped with a gun camera & the aperture in the port wing leading edge is one detail that I might have added (he says) to this replica - gun cameras were not widely used in the Jagdwaffe being generally reserved only for those pilots likely to bring back some interesting footage. The small G-6 style wing wheel bulges are spot on....as are the lower cowl chin bulges and the deeper oil cooler, seen on late G-14s produced by Messerschmitt only prior to the introduction of the K-4

A very beautiful Bf109 in a beautiful scheme...

@ Neil: Is there any conversion set or how does this gun camera and aperture look like?

..would be a very simple addition. Here's a pic of Trabert's a/c that J-Y Lorant sent me from his book;

Nice looking 109 John.

It's also good to see that someone elses workbench is just as messy as mine. Bravo sir, bravo...
