I went to my storage place, got a few models out and forgot to search out any WW1 types. I do however have this;
Which seems simple enough. Lots of either scratch building or searching thru the spares for this one.
I think my modelling standard is ok now and I can cope with this one.
I have the Me.309 as well, but its a bit more involved. Not till I try this one will I consider it.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Messerschmitt 209
Great choice - looks reasonably straightforward for a vac and will be a strikingly different take from the usual 109 shape.

Re: Messerschmitt 209
I had to go thru my spares for bits for other kits so as I did I looked out a lot of bits for this. Main u/c doors, u/c legs, prop and spinner, supercharger intake, a resin cockpit interior. I know which kit to raid for the wheels.
The HobbyBoss Messerschmitt 109 G2 kit is exactly the same as their G6, and both have a tail wheel moulded to the fuselage, plus 2 spares, there are also 3 sets of main wheels and of course two canopies [open & closed, but one type, the heavy framed one]

Re: Messerschmitt 209
Not yet. Now that I've finished a few for the ''Lesser Known...'' GB I can dig this out and attempt to do something on it.
The only thing I've done is to cast up a new cockpit interior.
I'll try to have the parts cut out, at the least, at the weekend.

Re: Messerschmitt 209
That really is bare bones! But the surface detail looks fairly nice for a vacform. Good luck with it.

Re: Messerschmitt 209
I've not done anything to this except gather together spare parts for the details. But all modelling will have to be put to shorter hours for a while as I've got a couple of big orders in and I really need to get those done.
