Do you mean to say that the real `109 doesn't have golf ball sized protruding rivets all over?The replay "not very" would be if there wasn't the riveting.
Another thing to observe is that the contours are all just "soft" as if they were based on a sketch rather than any real drawings.
The Israeli Starfix kit is better and that is saying a lot.

Here is another one. Why would you show your subject crashed?

Because after a kid builds it and crashes it, that's how the propeller should look.

I still just find it totally wrong to be buying a model kit with "Joy Pack" on the box. I mean...we modellers are weird enough to begin with, right? Adding "Joy Pack" just adds a whole 'nuther level of oddness to further reduce that diminishing portion of the population that's willing to talk to us.

3 in 1, without decals ... Is really Electronic Arts behind this?

Btw, isn't AZ an Russian manufacturer, or do I remember wrong....could explain it.

Considering the manufacturer is Russian, that box art of a wrecked Bf109 is perfectly acceptable (from their point of view)
Aurora has issued several box-arts with this hideous model and some of them are even worse than the model itself:

You will find that all planes have number 4 + chevron, double antennae, and Spitfire Mk.I tails. But what the hell are they carrying under their wings? My best guess is: salted herrings.

I remember reading about this box top years ago. Evidently the art work is a faithful reproduction of an actual picture...right down the the broken rear support wires on the port ski! (Notice how it hangs down in the rear?)

Here's another one that has me scratching my head. I don't remember seeing a picture of an 88 nightfighter with a "jazz music" cannon just forward of the cockpit! Is this legit?

A drone Hind? Who knew?

Gotta love the Heinkel He 219, especially when it's an Arado Ar 240!

Bf 109 or He 100?

Some of my favorite kits from my childhood. I recently purchased all three and plan to build them OOTB with no upgrades for nostalgic reasons. Wish me luck!
