Aha! Yet another manufacturer's edition! Great to hear you're jumping in.

This kit from Heller in 1/72 is my next It is K but as well it need to be engraved, from engraving will depend if it will be completed as K or G-10

Great! One more fresh build in this topic.

I consider this subject to build. Interesting detail is yellow propeller blade tips, not usual for German machines. Also I look for one funny build- post war use of the German 300 liter fuel tank as boat, seen somewhere in Netherlands

No.1, I think that airplane has a Hamilton Standard propeller on it. Notice the shape of the blades--they look very much like the paddle blades used on later B-17s and B-24s. Do you suppose they hung one on there as a test of some sort? That would also explain the yellow tips. The VDM design was licensed to Hamilton Standard and I seem to recall that they used the same shaft spline count and diameter but I'm not positive of that.

There was enough of spares in that time so no need for replacement I guess. Also this look like typical European landscape and buildings but will take more search about this.

If you look close at the prop, it's bent backwards from impact as it was still turning. 109's were notorious for landing gear failures, as has happened here

And the yellow tips may just be bare metal, worn away by contact. What does everyone else think? It is a VDM prop.

I'm sure you're right on this. I did more thinking after I posted my idea and it doesn't really make much sense for anyone to have adapted a U.S. prop. Nice markings on that one, though.

In this way this will be only case that propeller blades remained intact after impact to soil. I get this info from Jicehen about this machine:

This plane was WNr 151536, a Bf 109 G-10 from Erla-Leipzig and belonged to II./JG 52 and was "schwarze 22". Red color was forbidden on the eastern front since novemeber 1944. The airfield could have been Neubiberg but I wonder...

If this is Erla-Leipzig built machine, I have some images of this manufacturer and I will see for details. And maybe to choose some other sample.

I present my "Box-O-Messerschmitts"! Next step will be to start the painting process.

The cockpit of the Otaki G whilst fitting the windscreen for the first time. I must say that the one-piece canopy of this model was a bit frustrating. I usually have fair success in using a razor saw to cut canopy parts, but this was so thin that I cracked the center portion during the sawing. No problem to make a new one, though.

Ha ha ha- look like Augsburg production line in their best days 

And you are all right about the tips on image I send some before:

That are not yellow propeller tips on this Bf 109 G-10 but by landing on one leg the tips of the propeller touched the ground and paint was removed from the surface of the metal as by sanding down.

So if I work on this machine it will have standard blades color Thank you for attention
