Hi all. Although it is not my habit I will show what the box contains, but as I have said other times it only serves to see the distribution of the pieces in them. If they have detail or not, and if it is good or not, it will be in the assembly / painting phase where it will be appreciated. I have to say that this kit had a fairly affordable price when I bought it (€ 18) and for what it brings it is more than good, although the molding of the pieces leaves something to be desired ... And it is that this kit is not new batch, or with the standard that the latest SH molds have. There are burrs, the surface of the pieces is not as uniformly smooth as it should be, sometimes not very well defined detail and it seems to me that there will be problems of fit between them . Although it seems stupid I have to say that it attracts me and I think it even motivates me because I think that with little well-directed and patient work it can have a good final appearance. But of course no one is misled, this is not a Tamiya / Eduard. I am going to build the kit completely out of the box, but the box includes the gray plastic clips and the transparent ones, which includes a photoengraving for the cabin and other parts of the plane, as well as resin parts for the guns and exhaust pipes. In addition, the decals are produced by Aviprint and a priori they look good printed and very good looking (shiny and with little and fine support). The decoration will be the one that had destined for the base of El Aaiún, in the Spanish Sahara, around 1962 I think and I must say that I really want to set it on a base with desert terrain. The camouflage is made up of aluminum in the upper part (metallic paint, and not in natural metal) and blue in the lower part, roundels of a certain size, Cruz de San Andrés at all rudder and numerals in black. It will surely make him carry the rockets he used to use under his wings. For now I am preparing the parts, cleaning them from the remains of the mold and repairing small damages. Before painting the cockpit I want to rivet the surface of the plane, I think that riveting is easier to do when the parts are not glued. It only remains for me to say that as a reference for its construction I am going to use the photos that I can obtain from the internet and the book # 5 of the Editorial Aero Detail, dedicated to the Me-109G which is the airplane from which it comes.

Hi all. I show the final finish of this model that has been the first one that I have done the riveting completely. It has been fun to do and I think I have become fond of it so it will not be missing in my next models if they require it. If someone would like to see the construction and painting process, they can do so at the following link. Andrés S.
