Hi folks thankyou for your interest.
Special thanks go to Colin1 for providing the drawing.
Well to let the cat out of the bag, The model is finished yet.

The first cementing:
The rudder pedals are a shambles but you won't see enough of them through the cockpit to bother about.
I'm not the detailfreak at all costs. My skills are limited and most of the parts you don't see anyway when installed.
So I decided not to use any aftermarket products in this model.

Not really. The Bf 109 was, in its day, a very high performance fighter, the later versions just as good as the P51 Mustang. If you use the search engine you'll find that this has been discussed at length many times on the forum. It was only the level of attrition, poor training of Luftwaffe pilots and overwhelming numerical superiority that tipped the balance.

As far as I'm aware (and I admit I'm no expert on the P51) the original design by Schmued was hideously overweight and it was only with help from studying British design and manufacturing that an improved airframe could result. And there's the small matter of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine...

Well said :thumbleft:

The conversion is looking very nice fam43
 
The seat belts are little bit simplified but they will do.

Time doing the horizontal stabilizer.

I used the wingtip of some surplus two engined kit in 1:72 laying around.

A little brushup for the old Revell exhausts. Look somewhat hamfisted. I will try to thin them a little bit more.
