That's looking really good so far. I wish I had more space to display my models and could work in a larger scale. The level of detail possible is so much more. You have made a very neat job, so far. Look forward to seeing further progress.
Cheers, Dave.

Thanks!
In the meantime one of my friend remind me there is opened tail weel bay it that 109, so i decided to improve that. Done with wire, metal foil from some package, magicsculpt, and some other not much visible stuff as fishing line, spring from guitar string.

I decided to fill the gap between flaps and wing with MagicSculpt (MS).
Canopy is dry fited.

I decided also to use MG 151 from Model Master. It was a bit dificult at this step. I had to make hole bigger to fit the barrel, and afterwards to fill it (i use MS).

I added a cord to canopy.

It's looking very good so far. The mottling is very deft. I am sure the end result will be impressive too. I have enjoyed following this build, your work is excellent. Can't wait to see the finished job.
Dave.

Hello,

thanks for all so nice comments.
Mottling was looking nice but was not so similiar to the plane picture, what do You think about it?
Now it is more like, but still need some improvement.

There will be some overpainting of fuselage part where german cross was.
