Your are right, Spiros (@fiveten). The more research I do, the more I like the airplane. I think I have only built one 109 in my life, but I think more may be one the horizon. There is a lot of contradictory information out there, especially when you start talking about the early 109s, like the 109A - 109D. The camo looks great on yours, especially with the new yellow accents.

The yellow looks really nice, Spiros @fiveten
109's are indeed great subjects to build, lots of variants and uncountable schemes.

Speedy Spiros! Fast-lane building 109's are the way to go 🙂
Gonna be a treat with those early colors.

John and George, indeed one is spoilt for choice when entering the 109-world.

@johnb, even if you stayed with the "Emil" the variations are countless.

@gblair, one source that seem very trustworthy is the book on 109's in Spain (German eagles in Spanish Skies by David Johnston) - actually I have bought a lot of original and instructions from Luftfahrt-Archiv Hafner in Germany. He has scanned a huge amount of manuals and POH and what-not. I better stop here, with the note that I do recall your Emil - it was a very well researched build, and definitely worth a re-visit!

RLM65 on...

First drybrushed the IP panel and after that applied the two decals.

Spiros (@fiveten): Looking very cool, indeed. It is almost decal time.

John (@johnb): Your instrument panel looks like you could reach out and start flipping switches. Very well done.

Erik (@airbum): Thanks. Trying to find any definitive info about early 109s is very frustrating. Just as soon as you think you have a color pinned down, you find another source that says something totally different.
