Airfix is giving me the Willi's

Pick yourself up either of these kits

And using the parts in the box and the supplied decals, (add your own swastikas), you can build these five Me 109's

A nice varied and colourful quintet :)

I have both and have built both too; very nice kits and your quartet quintet are cracking examples!

Edit: can't count! :shock:
Best wishes

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.

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?

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.

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
