Help-fixing up the ME-109 from Fiddles green.

[dansls1]

Some clown built a Modelik BF109 with a pretty detailed build report showing cockpit interior -
Messerschmitt BF109-G8 Modelik 1/33.

I am having real fun with this. I still have not decided about the cockpit yet. I have not built many cockpits from kits, and never a scratch built, so I may wimp out. However, the machine gun mountings and hollows along with the exhaust ports being improved already improves the look. Thanks for all of your advice, and please keep it coming.
Thanks, CT

CT, I had a look at the free download Me-109 at Navarin.ru, and the cockpit looks like something you could use. I prepared a single sheet for you with just the cockpit parts and the instructions for it:



It says that it is in 1/33 scale, but I enclosed the cockpit glazing, so you can compare scales. Just print at the required percentage, or scale it in a graphic programme.

If you want to download the entire model, the url is:

If you want to use the parts here, download the pdf file. The other is just for illustration.

I like my models better with glased cockpits better than the 'paper' windows, if the scale is too small i just make the interiour black, like this;

Focke Wulf cockpit and Messerschmitt cockpit are not the same?

[ct ertz]

Wow, thanks. I may have to try a cockpit after all!

Nope, different companies have different cockpit layouts.

No, the 190's is MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE. And I'm not that large a guy.
