Thanks mate, let's see how it goes. I really wanted to build an early Bf 109. 🙂

Very nice work so far Ricardo 👍 How is the fit so far? I'm just asking because I have the D-version of this kit in my stash....and looking at your progress makes me want to start it sooner rather than later 😉

Thanks Sebastian. Well, apart from a lever that I had to glue after closing the cockpit, the fit quite good, much to my surprise 👍

Great start Ricardo. Looking super.

Heads and shoulders above the HobbyCraft kit, I've tried several times to get to go. What a disappointment.

Thanks Dave. This one isn't too bad. It's a short run kit, but the fit is good overall and the detail is very good, with a lot of resin and PE. I'm building this alongside a E-1 from Eduard and I can compare the details. A Valiant Wings book ("Bf 109 Early Series") is also on the table side, just in case. 😉

Great work Ricardo! Love the early 109s too. Made a Classic Airframes Dora recently.

Thank you Eric; I also have a Modelsvit D-1 in Condor Legion colors to do; that should round up my early Bf 109 crave! 😄

OOB build, always wanted to do an early Bf 109. The "Bf 109 Early Series" book from Valiant Wings is also a great help in consulting the details. Final photos, here: Messerschmitt Bf 109B-1 | Album by RReis (1:48)
