Totally agree with Erik, Daniel and Nathan...great start Kees, the authenticity is insane...👍

Where did you get the full size seat from for reference, oh my mistake it's 1/48, well done Sir.👍

Thank you mates! 👍
The seat belts are from HGW with a little wash added. They're quite fiddly but realistic indeed

That interior (and particularly that seat) is amazing! Following!

Thanks Michael! 👍
And welcome aboard, cool that a dedicated (and gifted 🙂 ) jet builder like yourself is joining in the 109 GB

Amazing seat Kees! 👍 May I suggest one thing though? The buckle at the and of the belt that sits straight across has its end peeling loose like a 1:48 scale HGW seat belt set, otherwise it would look exactly like a 1:1 Bf-109D-1. 😉

I just know that the red is going to look great against the splinter camo colors.

Thanks mates! Just some rlm70 and then the Sharkie mask can be removed! 🙂

That's a wonderful finish Kees. Of course I love the markings but I love that subtle scratching on the wing's leading edge too.

Great finish Kees! I love the contrasting yellow and shark nose.

Usually not my cup'o'tea, but you did a great job on this beautiful sharkmouthed Jumoschmitt. One of the very few examples of „noseart" on german aircraft in WW2. 👍
