That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, I love it, I'll have to build mine, it's been in the closet for years, I also bought the same tires, and the Mike Good pilot figure, I sort of collect his figures, they're the best.
This is the 1/35 scale Border Models kit, it was a real bear, but the panelling and rivets are awesome, I got the surprise figure of Gerhard Barkhorns, so I decided to build his 109, if you'll notice the Christl decal is way too large, but what do you do. Probably should have hand painted it.
Yes, they were Cartograf, so I knew that they wouldn't be a problem, although I was afraid to accent the panel lines, due to the wash getting under the decals.
Thank you very much, I met Galland at a Virginia Bader Symposium in D.C. back in the early 80s, he was a very interesting man. I always wanted to build one of his aircraft.
Just finished this, minus antennas, but what a beautiful model. There have been a lot of bad reviews of this kit, but I thought that it's awesome. I assume this was moulded in Italy. Beautiful panelling and lots of photoetched parts, and beautifully printed 3D instrument panel decals.
