Hey no worries fella
not trying to pressure you into rushing anything, just always nice to see your end products 8)
 
OK. To bore you all more... when these wings have been attached to the fuselage it appeared that there was "a stair" between both parts at the bottom , especially the front area.Also the shape of wheel bays was slightly incorrect there.There was lack of small triangles at the area of the leg sockets to keep the bay lines straight. Then I had to hard work with a file and sandpaper to remove the difference. A few shots below....

Neat work again my friend, and a quick question.
Can you confirm that the radiator drain is only on one side, not on both radiators (the pipe which needs the notch in the radiator shutter) ? I haven't been able to find any pics (unless I've missed one in all the references I have), and want to get it right for both the 1/32 nd scale kits I'm doing. I notice that the Bf109E in the RAF Museum has the notch in both shutters.
Thanks Wojtek.

Terry,

I'm not sure buit these radiators might have been mounted interchangeably. But the pipe was for the port wing radiator only. Here you are a few pics.
