Wow!! I've been building aircraft and armor for decades and yet your first attempts at aircraft far outshine anything I ever did! You are amazing!! Duke thank you my friend, but I'm not such a good modeller, I practically always have to do things four, five times before it looks moreless ok. The lucky part is that I have patience, it saves my models from disaster.

Pete, Ian and Tommy, thanks for jumping by, I can use the encouraging words. This is not the easiest of kits, most certainly the finest in detail, it's impressive. The first Bf 109 E I'm building has a closed nose, my next one will have open engine and gun cowling. It's a slow build, I have to keep my eyes open as a mistake is quickly made.

This looks great, Guy! Yes, I heard the fit on this was a bit tempermental, kind of like on their Spitifire. They get so much detail in the cockpit but the tolerances are minuscule because they have alot of parts.

So tiny considering all the detail. Bravo!!! Tommy it's tiny, it comes with pe parts which seem to almost disappear between the tips of my tweeters. Sometimes they do but I'm lucky enough to find them.

The fuselage was glued together. I think the most complicated part is done. Thanks Paul for the heads up on the fuel line!😎👍
