A flawless build and paint job. BUTT it looks like you didn't correct the incorrect angle of the oleo struts, resulting in an awkward stance. I love the tone of the colors you used.

Thanks. The paints I use are Model Master. They spray through my airbrush without any fuss or coaxing. I'm one of those guys who never got the hang of Tamiya's paints, which seem to need special treatment based on your position on the earth, the humidity level, etc.

The oleo struts, wings, fuselage length/shape, etc.--what can I say? This kit got blasted for all its apparent problems, which Eduard seems to be addressing in their upcoming Bf 109G-6 2nd Edition (see INFO Eduard June 2015). I didn't want to pick and choose what I wanted to "correct" so opted to just build the thing OOB.
Build 'em, don't hoard 'em!

Yeah, I get it.

All the other "mistakes" I could live with---BUTT, the wrong rake of the oleo kits I couldn't--changes the whole "look" of the a/c IMO. Eduard won't be getting another dime from me on their 109s unless they give me some sort of credit for the several hundred dollars I sunk into their dog of a 109, version 1.0... :ballbat:
