My first build was a 109 when I was a child so it was an easy choice. This will be a first as I haven't built this scale 109 before. Looking forward to it. The kit is an Eduard weekend edition but I'll be creating Night fighter version.

Cockpit completed went together really well. This part was nice and quick. The wing stage will be more time consuming.

Ok fuselage is done with a little work on panels and rivets.


Do you think I need to make the centreline more pronounced?

How are you uploading them. I usually set mine for about 800 x 600 or 8" x 6"

Good progress, and the fuselage spine panel line looks OK.
It's probably better to upload your pics direct to the forum, rather than use an unnecessary photo-hosting site - reproduction should be better, and the pics won't suffer the possibility of disappearing at some point in the future.
