AMG Bf 109B-1

I had been wanting to get some early 109's for ages. Originally i had planned on getting the Avis kits. But when AMG brought out there's, i decided to opt for one of those. Decided to try the B-1 first.
Kits come with PE, mask and one small piece of resin, so this will be an OOB build. Started with the pit (of course) which has detail added to the side walls, and one small piece of PE.
After painting with Xtracolor, i used some flory wash and then added some light dry brushing.
Cockpit was fitted after adding PE seatbelts and decals for instruments.
Fuselage then went together and wings added. Fit is pretty nice.
The rear of the centre wing section needed a little sanding. And of course i over did it and had to fill a bit. The lower wing doesn't join the top along the back edge, but just ahead of the flaps. Buts its better than in the review i had read.
I rather like the molded on detail of the engine. I won't be having it open on this, but i do plan on getting some more of their early kits so will show it off on one of those.
Thats all for now. More soon.
