| After repairing the wing damage from the last crash, I too out the 109 for a quick test flight. Plane performed classic combat maneuver - accidentally. Flew level for about 30 ft then started to climb. Eventually stalled, tail spun around 90 deg, and then the plane dove. Unfortunately didn't pull out in time. End result - snapped propeller and some ripped tissue on the wing. |

| Covered in Esaki. Paint is acrylic airbrushed on. The plane is oversprayed with a fine mist of Krylon Krystal Matte finish. Wheels are balsa discs turned with a dremel. This was a long but fun build. I really like Diels kits. |

| The decals are leftovers from a 1/24 scale ME-109G. I browsed the internet and saw enough pics - I settled on a sorta generic representation of a 109 of the 1939-1940 time period. |

| All the little scale bits like the carb intake and exhaust are balsa. |

| There is a rubber peg in there and a flying prop / nose block for this plane but the scale prop looks so much better. |
