The Messerschmitt Bf109E is one of my favorites from World War II. I enjoyed this build immensely. Part by part, it went together as one would hope for but I must confess my own faults during this build. As I previously stated, I lost the original spinner to the propeller and also broke off the tail wheel. Well, I continued to ruin two more propeller spinners before I was able to get it right. Careless mistakes, but I got through it.
The paint job took patience and lots of time. I enjoy the look of the German style paint schemes and this one was a good experience to try. It gave me confidence to build some more WWII German aircraft.
Fantastic job. I like the weathering you did. This looks like a plane that’s survived big wings of Spitfires.

Thank you. I tried to make it look like it has seen plenty of war.

Like your blog. Always reminds me of my Dad, who was a pilot while in the Marines. Many years later, after he retired, he built some model planes. I think his favorite was the P-51 Mustang.
