That's a super looking G14, the paint work and weathering is spot on. I've recently finished the Revell G6 which I really enjoyed apart from the undercarriage which is pretty fragile. Many congratulations on a superb 109.

Agreed, the undercarriage is really weak. That's the worst part of the kit in my opinion. I actually broke one leg in half where the oleo is. Was not fun to fix, but It's holding.

This isn't a comment about your model but a critic to Revell.

A kit that needs so much resin  parts to improve its deficiences is a BAD kit in my book!

That's why I'll avoid their line of 1:32 109s.

 

Cheers, Josip

Very good point. However, I still think there is some merit to the Revell kit. The main thing going for it is price as you can get them for a good deal. Out of the box, I don't think they look too bad. Adding the resin did add cost, but I enjoyed using all the barracuda parts, nothing but nice things to say. The barracuda parts bring a lot of value and look good.

Now, having said all of that, I will buy Hasegawa 1/32 109s from now on (minus the revell 109G-10 already in the stash). I built the 109F-4 from Hase and thought it was a pretty solid kit. I'll still be tempted to add some of the barracuda parts though.  That's all my humble opinion.

Very nice rendition of that classic airplane.

Interesting markings as well, did this belong to an Operational Training Unit?

These are usually seen with (high) 2-digit numbers.
