    Pufo got a reaction from Martinnfb in Airfix 1/24 Messerschmitt BF109-E - Finished!   
    Gun drum cover was attached by 4 screws, not hinged, so it can be only remove completly, so you can not glue the covers on the model but you must leave it next to the model.
    Here are some photos: from museum http://www.flickr.com/photos/pufo04/9513011338/sizes/h/in/photostream/ and some wartimes pics. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pufo04/9513010146/sizes/o/in/photostream/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/pufo04/9513011492/sizes/o/in/photostream/
     
     
    Hint: You can follow this worldwide standard
    " Aircraft navigation lights are placed in a way similar to that of marine vessels, with a red navigation light located on the left wingtip leading edge and a green light on the right wingtip leading edge."

    PS: After your response to Martin's input, I am not sure whether you care about constructive comments, but I try it and maybe it helps you with your next build.
    I think, You should focus on basic modeling skills such as cleaner build, better clean up of the parts (seamline on the tires, flash on the engine bearers...) also geometry of the vertical stabilizers is very poor - from the front view should be in the straight line but yours looks like "V-tail"

    Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying your holidays, things are a little different here in Hungary at Christmas but not for the worst - obviously the food is different but I must say I like very much the difference in the traditions - for example Santa has his own day on the 6th Dec so not to confuse with the real meaning of Christmas. Presents are given on the 24th Dec not 25th and this is preceded by singing a hymn around the tree. As Santa has long gone from the scene it is the baby Jesus who delivers the presents which I just cannot imagine!  A man who has a weight problem off-loading sacks of toys and climbing down chimneys a quarter of his size before shooting off - through the front door I assume??? on a magic slay I can understand - but a baby doing all this without adequate clothing , climbing experience or a means of transport I just cannot visualise? Anyway it is wonderful. Not many presents - just family giving home made biscuits and a scratch built (haha) tree decoration and a book seems to be the norm. - I got a book (in English) on how to cook Hungarian meals.
     
    Anyway what else? Something I missed - a little object with a yellow electrical feed followed by black sleeving kept together by an aluminium tie on the floor near the centre. What did I fail to do? Scrape off kits cable detail in wing cut-out - it looked so nice! Well I will try and disguise it by running wire in conjunction with it or joining it like you see i have done for the pipe that comes out of the inner lightening hole and joins the kits pipe on the floor. What have I added? Some pivots to the bottom of the kits main gear mounts. Also added some more decals to the front triangular plates above where the joystick linkage is. What did I get wrong? I had replaced the bottom section of the kits inner door mechanism and added some much more scale friendly rod but yesterday I noticed it is a flat piece of metal not a rod.
     
    Best wishes
