Hi guys! I really like these bright sandy Luftwaffe schemes from Africa/Tunis/Italy instead of those sad greyish colors from most of Europe. Trumpeter kit seems straightforward but I had problems with closing lower part of engine cover, raised the wings (nearly flat in kit...). You MUST correct kit ugly spinner and too short rudder (and if you are Meser maniac all control surfaces...) I replaced them with Revell\Eduard leftovers. I placed German pilot from ICM Axis pilots box with figourines in cockpit, added cables to engine. If you want to have 109 fast i recommend Hasegawa - most of their kits are totally plaything or if you like details ZM (but i saw that this isn't a piece of cake to put together...). Hope you like it!

Revells cheap kit, quite accurate but in terms of parts quality and fit, overly sliced nose and wings, milky canopy, few steps behind Hasegawa. Added metal landing gear from Eduard, resin propeller, resin beules and exhausts, Eduard interior PE. Insead of riveting whole surface i sprayed dark grey while holding sponge for making "lines" of them and to make surface more 3D then using pecil I created dot here and there. Hartmann as new research tells never scored as many kills as he claimed and never was really first in aces table, but I like non-usual painting schemes and this one really buyed me. Hope you like it!
