"..The 156th is finished. Another Eduard Bf 109 in 1:72 (Royal Class box set). Always perfect, I never tire of these Eduard kits, there are always lots of cool schemes for them too. This latest model is a G-10 belonging to JG 300 and found outside a hangar in Prague. The camouflage is rather different from what we're used to seeing. It's a late-war scheme where it was better to have dark colours so as not to be seen by Allied fighters. The paint is either AK, Mig or Vallejo, which in my opinion are the best colours..."

Elements of JG 300 flew into Prague-Gbell during the period 03-05 May 1945 having been ordered there from Salzberg Ainring. This is one of their machines from 11. Staffel (blue-white-blue bands) seen after arrival in Prague. No other JGs were ordered to Prague -there was a TG in Rusin and an SG Gruppe somewhere north of Prague. The last situation report from Luftflotte 6 dated 7 May 45 confirmed the 'transfer'...as for the Staffel number, it should be green although Eduard's 'yellow 7' looks quite 'green'! Note III. and IV. Gruppen of JG 300 did not use a Gruppe marking aft of the cross..
"...It is difficult to establish an exhaustive list of all JG 300 pilots who managed to fly to Prag-Gbell, then Saaz and finally Eger. Among those who reached Prag were Lt. Meichsner, Kapitän of 11./JG 300, as well as Feldwebeln Hans Gerich and Günther Borchert of the same Staffel, and Lt. Reinhardt Weiss of 12./JG 300; in II. Gruppe, Gruppenkommandeur Oblt. Waldemar Radener and Ofw. Fred Dohms (8./JG 300). IV. Gruppe was better represented, at least five pilots reaching Prag, including Oblt. Heinz Förster (Staffelkapitän 13./JG 300), Fw. Hermann Berdelmann and Uffz. Eugen Maier (14./JG 300), as well as Fw. Walter Ehmer (16./JG 300). Two IV./JG 300 pilots, Lt. Burger and Ofw. Gräfner (13. Staffel), died in the street fighting in the Czech capital, most probably during the afternoon of 4 May 1945..."
