I have one of these in my display cabinet that I built around 10 years ago, as part of the first ever Secret Santa Group Build. It’s a nice, simple kit. Should go together very easy, so you can focus on the important part... the paint!

The cockpit is looking great. I'll be watching to see how the rest builds up. But I ain't worried.

Thanks guys! I've had hit and miss results with Tamiya's decals. Hopefully these aftermarket ones will be a hit.

Awesome start!  Looking forward to the mottling of the 109.

Despite having many 109s in my stash, this is the first one I've built since I came back to the hobby.  I built one of them many years ago and it has since been destroyed.  I held off on building one because I didn't feel comfortable painting the mottling, but I think I'm ready to tackle it. I'll be using aftermarket decals since there weren't any decals in the box when I bought it at a show (well, there were decals in the box, but there were for a Hs 129).  I'll be building White 7 of 1./JG51.  In doing some research, the plain had a forced landing on the French coast after combat over England during the Battle of Britain.

Here's the office.  It's mostly OOB with the exception of some PE seatbelts, and some added wiring.  Any comments/critiques are welcome.
