Re: Airfix is giving me the Willi's
I have both and have built both too; very nice kits and your quartet quintet are cracking examples!
Edit: can't count!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

A very nice quintet
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Re: Airfix is giving me the Willi's
Nice collection Nigel, those are well done. It would be nice to see the same thing done with the new Airfix 109E and all its decal options.
Re: Airfix is giving me the Willi's
Very nice.
I've built one of these myself - rather enjoyed it. Ashamed to say I've only built the one, mind!

A lovely collection of 109's there. Amazing that these were only decal options: no cutting or adding needed. What would the options be if some minor surgery were to be carried out?

Re: Airfix is giving me the Willi's
That's a nice bunch of 109s there. I could say especially the Finnish one, but I'm kind of biased there

Are these the original moulds of the 109, that at one time was offered in a bag and had rocket tubes on the wings?

Nice work. I especially like the one in overpainted Regia Aeronautica markings.

Re: Airfix is giving me the Willi's
You have been busy, Nigel!
109s offer a lot of scope for markings, and I have started on a similar project (just gearing up on my 2nd 1/72 109) but it will take years, a bit at a time.
Cheers,
David
