Stuart BellI replaced the Bf-109F that came with kit with an Airfix FW-190. The Bf-109F kit has some real accuracy issues.

Ed HubbartNot worried about the accuracy, and it is part of an Me-109 group build.

RobbieI too have this kit in the stash and from the comments posted I went searching for an alternate 109F kit. To my surprise there is not much of a choice out there especially for recent released kits. Zvezda has a 109F that is a snap fit. There are a ton of 109G's so maybe back fitting one of those might do the trick. However I like Ed's idea, If I do decide to build this thing for now I will live with the provided 109 in the kit. Is there any comments on the accuracy of the Ju-88 part of this kit? Also looks like I may need to get a new tube of putty ;/
