I just finished this Hobbycraft 1/48 Me 109G-2, I
think. The box art said G-1/2 version, but who's cares? I built
the Hobbycraft Me 109E-4 a few months back. It was a good kit, but the
braces in the rear tail pushed the horizontal out of alignment. The tail
ended up in a "V" instead of a straight "T", as it should.
Since I was building it OOB, and relied on the Mfg. for the correctness, I
didn't take time to correct it. The braces should be a little shorter to
match up with the holes on both the fuselage and the tail sections. Oh
well, it was the E-4. This kit doesn't have the same problem, so I'm
home free.

I
built it OOB, without the umbrella. I like the look of the desert scheme
on this particular one. Don't ask me about the markings. I marked it
as the way I liked it. I used decals from my left over sheet from Sky
decals for the 109's. If you get technical and accuracy of this particular
"Yellow-9"....bla, bla, bla. I just keep my mouth shut, since I
made it up. I did try to be correct on the crosses by trimming off the
black around them. Like our friend Rodney Williams said, " You
building it for yourself, right?".
