I boought an aftermarket 109 decal set to get the swastikas.

Some manufacturers provide a "cut up" swastika on the decal sheet. Other provide a "cut up" and a full swastika in an easily cut off corner of the decal sheet. I know Eduard does this for sure, but I can't recall others right now. You could enjoy building one of those kits and use the extra for your Airfix kit.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Thank you friends. I will have to source for a swastica to make the bf109 complete. I have some spares but they are all too large for it.

Nice work.

Airfix does not include the Swastika since they sell in Germany, where the Swastika is prohibited in any form by law. But there are aftermarket decal sheets available, and some times these manufacturers will include the Swastika in pieces that the modeler has to "assemble" onto their builds.
