To compliment the Hasegawa G-10 and the Type 110 Conversions from Eagle Editions and Cutting Edge Eagle Editions has released this sheet of colorful Bf-109s.

Printed by Microscale, the decals are perfectly in register, typically well researched, thin, and should respond well with setting solutions.  They are depicted on two decal sheets, one sheet that contains the individual markings and the other with all the stencil and national markings to do one airplane.

Eagle Editions provides instructions on how to convert the G-10 to the G-14/AS.  This easy conversion is simplified with the new Parts-R Parts forward cowling.

The first aircraft is from the bomber unit KG(J)6 converting to fighters.  It has very colorful markings, which include the black/red checkerboard, yellow tail and lower nose on a RLM75/83.  The single chevron and spiral spinner add some additional color on the side.

The next aircraft will interest a lot of modelers and fuel many conversations.  It is a G-14/AS, "Yellow 1" with red legs and RVD band.  The red legs are always a point of contention.  What is unique on this machine is the name on the forward cowling.  This aircraft also incorporates the smaller wing bulges.  This aircraft sports a drop tank.  The German markings on the fuselage are the black-filled, early war type.

The next G-14/AS is "Green 3" from JG300.  The same as "Yellow 1", this aircraft has the smaller bulges on the wings and a gun camera in the leading edge of the wing.  What is not known is if this aircraft had red legs or not.  It would seem a logical conclusion as "Yellow 1" was from the same Gruppe.  This aircraft also has a name on the nose.

"Rosemarie" is a G-10 with an unusual patchy paint scheme that includes a light grey, perhaps RLM 77, on the fuselage spine.  It has a small tactical number, yellow band around the nose and a yellow tail.  The wing bulges are the larger type but the tail wheel is the short type.

I highly recommend this sheet.

I would like to thank Eagle Editions for the review copy.  The decals can be ordered from their website at www.eagle-editions.com, or by calling them at 1-800-255-1830.
