Thanks all and Merry Christmas! The Messerschmitt is very nearly done, just need to stretch some sprue and fix the aerial wire. I'll try and get an RFI done in the next few days (I still need to do one for the B-29 as well...). Since last time I've added some weathering - the main things were to add some "chips" with a fine brush and then to paint streaks and highlights with brown, black and white oil paints. 

 

Overall I'm pretty happy with the outcome: my first go at riveting and mottling came out ok, the extras in the cockpit look neat and I love the paint job, yellow nose and tips especially. On the other hand my attempts to improve the guns on top of the nose didn't work so well and the canopy is a bit of a disaster (murky transparents, not very crisp frame...) but at least I know what to work on with the next one. Thanks for looking and for the advice along the way!

It looks great - you should be happy with that. Good construction, great paint job. Canopy could be a little clearer but it's far from a disaster - all up, it's a great 109. Well done!
