Airfix 1/72 Bf109 G6

My first 109. The kit has its inadequacies, notably no cockpit detail, but the decals are great. You get 3 options, I chose the Finnish version because of the shark mouth. I've just got hold of the 109 Tropical, which is excellent, and does contain a decent enough cockpit and bulkhead, which I had to scratch build for this version. You'll notice that the wheel sruts are too upright and should come down at an angle following on from the aircraft sides. I'll remember this for next time, and infact the correct angle is noted in the instructions of the Troipical version. Weathered again with Mig powders and vallejo steel.
