Gerd Wilcken is
here with his stunning 1/72 AZModel Me Bf 109 G-10 (Erla, Late
Version) "a plane with a history". Gerd goes into
great detail about this kit and it sounds like a gem of a kit with
plenty of detailing options included in the box. Gerd added
Eduard seatbelts and finished it in a low viz camo complete with
expertly done weathering. It was very enjoyable to read his
article and see his finished 109. |

Oh my goodness....it is good
to be back. I couldn't afford a new computer, so after much
head scratching and effort I grabbed an old computer of mine with
very low hours and have pressed that into service. It actually
runs like a dream compared to how my main machine was running.
Today's update is a bit small as I'm still transferring data from my
old machine to this machine.
