Galland Bf 109 model completed

Here is the completed model of Galland's Bf 109E, W Nr. 5819 using a mix of kit and AI decals. I modelled the kit with the flaps down as depicted in the primary reference photos (see earlier in blog) but left the ailerons in a neutral position.

Unlike many modellers I don't bother with super detailing the cockpit particularly in this case where the cockpit canopy is closed. For me, the main point of interest in the model is its overall shape and appearance not the micro cockpit detail.

The main wheel tyres have been flattened a bit too much, though it looks better than having no flattening at all. I'll take some better photos in natural light next weekend.
