Hello-
A web search for BF-109 antenna wire led me to this forum and wow! I build balsa and ply warbirds from plans I download. The plans are usually light on scale details so I've looking for a good resource. A lot of plans recommend buying a plastic kit of the plane but that can get pricey. Anyway I'm glad I found this site.
Here is a couple pics of the plane I'm currently building.

Welcome. "A lot of plans recommend buying a plastic kit of the plane". Is this so you can get details from the instruction sheets? If so, go to this site, you can download the instructions for free.... Scalemates, scale modeling database | stash manager You have to enter the scale as 1:48, not 1/48. Eg: Eduard 1:48 bf 109f give you this.... eduard bf 109f* 1:48 - Scale Modeling Search Scroll down and it will show whether or not there are instructions to download.

Welcome to the forum. I build and fly controlline models, don't need no stinkin radios or batteries. Great looking models in your show, however I see you are one of those creating the balsa shortage.

Welcome to this site. It's a fantastic group of dedicated people who can help provide you with much hard-to-find details on almost all aircraft of WWII. They can also offer suggestions & tips about the actual aircraft as well.

I'm also a wooden model builder. Generally build models for display.

Cheers,
