  1. Businessman, not a modeller (or aircraft designer).
  2. A good looking model of a very scruffy aeroplane. I'd be an unhappy crew chief if an aeroplane in my care looked like that ! I'd be an unhappy driver if I was expected to fly an aeroplane looking like that, wondering what else was going on (or not) under the skin.
  3. I misunderstood. I imagined a pilot somewhat over 2metre 50cms tall, sat in the cramped 109 cockpit, on a deckchair (actually a chair on the deck) ! Silly me !
  4. 17/20 ! Much to my amazement. And the three wrong 'uns were all incorrect guesses. 🙂
  5. Unusual colours on the upper surfaces. On my screen it looks like a soft sand colour.
  6. Which bits did you model as having fallen off ?
  7. Park the aeroplane flaps up. Problem solved. 😁
  8. You never saw me fly an aeroplane did you ?🛩ī¸
  9. 1/72 ! You are kidding aren't you ? It's brilliant.
  10. At least the camouflage is going to be reasonably consistent, though you may try to create a diorama during one of the periods when it was evolving (e.g. undersides changed from black/white to sky) ! Don't forget the aircraft serial numbers too. And don't assume a squadron had its aircraft allocated with sequential serial numbers ! I think your best bet is to find a reputable source for finding out which aircraft were on a particular squadron at your desired period of 1939/40. What ever you create, have fun researching and modelling it and let us see the results. FFH
