Mike, if you're depicting Hartmann's mount it's 83 (or 82, the darker of the 2 greens) / 75 (grey-violet) / 76. Since no pictures of the belly exist, it is unknown if parts of the wing were bare metal. What is known though is that Hartmann's mount had the G-6 style small bulges on the wings (as well as the smaller tires), not the late G-6/K-4 ones as Revell provided. There's AM parts for it, luckily.
Eduard brassin G-6 legs could also be used, though I didn't bother this time.

I haven't decided which way to go yet but thanks for the info!!

Looks great!  I just picked this kit up from my LHS last weekend.  Was more than disappointed with the color call outs.  I expected to see more than "T=mouse grey, matt."  I guess I will just use colors shown in the instructions of other kits I have built.

Will be following your build!

Wings and fuselage mated today. All cowling seams filled/sanded/rescribed (badly ;-) )Also notice I beefed up the supercharger intake lip a bit. Now I need to wait for my Barracuda small-bulge wing parts to arrive.

Seatbelts (Eduard) arrived today. Shoulderstraps will only be installed at the very end when I install the canopy.

Revell 1:32 Bf 109G-10 "Erla"

So after having built the G-6, I thought I might as well get Hartmann's G-10 Erla. Both kits are basically the same so I think I'm prepared. Will probably get Barracuda's resin parts for small wing-bulges, as Hartmann's G-10 actually didn't have the large Kurfürst-style ones. Revell's camo colors are wrong as well, but I think I know what I'm doing.

Started with the office floor. First time scratch-building straps, too...
As always I'm using VMC and paintbrushes.
