The Hobbyboss Bf-109Gs are finally complete and to my eyes don't look at all bad. It's certainly a straightforward kit to build and while it may not lay claim to the title of greatest '109 replica, it at least makes up into a thoroughly adequate wargames model.
The markings in the box contain a basic set of national insignia with variations for two aircraft. I used swastikas from my decal box rather than the (rather clever) two-part affairs supplied. The markings on the darker aircraft above represent a machine of JG50, the other JG3. The paint schemes I based loosely on various photos.
In summary, a recommended buy - especially if (as I did) you find it cheap!
