Cheers for the comments re the weathering pencils Geo and Vic. Something to consider.

Researching again tonight, no modelling done.
 
Added the tail parts. Not sure of the reasoning behind the two part stabs; there are no others for different variants. There's an old saying on the internet, just because you can doesn't mean you should

Waiting for the three piece wings to set. I test fit the lower section to the fuselage and got a superior fit
 
I tend to overlook this thread but see that there's a lot of good work going on here. I'll try to look in more often.
 
Lots of useful info coming from your build George. It should be helpful in the future for the Regia Aeronautica bf109's I have in mind.
 
While the lower wing fit and the upper and lower half fit are stellar, as a whole, when test fit to the fuselage, not so much with the right side being just off

The left being better

Already enough dihedral so pulling the wings up is not an option. As can seen seen in the instructions, the lower wing is not full and slots into the upper wing (A) so while trying to keep this flush probably opened up the wing root but only on one side(?). There will be mud

Eduard would like you to have the wing leading edge slats open but I prefer everything closed up so off came the attachment lugs which would have needed thinning to fit anyhow. The left slat was a tad long so I filed it to fit. Pitot tube is trying desperately to leave but I wanna see how long it stays

I will have no choice but to have the flaps and radiator flaps in the dropped position, too much effort for me
