Begining with the Bf 109G-5 and continued thereafter, the fuselage mounted 7.9mm MG 17 machine guns were replaced with the heavier 13mm MG 131 machine guns which required a bulged housing for the cocking mechanisms. These were quickly labeled "Buele" by the pilots. |

The 109G required two small scoops on each side of the nose and the G-6, since it was unpressurized, required a small air ventilation scoop on each side just below the windscreen. |

After the HobbyLite is dry the surface is sanded smooth and another coat of HobbyLite is applied and again sanded, after which coats aof Aero Gloss Balsa Filler were added and sanded. |

The fuselage section forward of the cockpit was filled with balsa plugs and after sanding a layer of HobbyLite filler was fingered on to fill any imperfections. |

Once carving is finished a couple of coats of sanding sealer are added and sanded and then painted Tamiya Red Brown to similate burnt metal exhausts. |

3 pieces of laser balsa are laminated together and then carved into exhausts. |

Iadded a little HobbyLite to the joint to smooth it to look like one piece. |
