Well my friend, both layouts might be very true, and as it is your build you decide what works for you. I am by no means an expert, not even close to being that, but in my everlasting searches for information on the 109's I keep digging new information up (just added a tiny bit to the 109werke). I find that very stimulating and a fun part of the hobby. Happy hunting for the right solution for you @fiveten.

Oh, by the way - looking forward to the last 95% of this build 🙂

Thanks my friend @airbum! Yes, it is just amazing to dig into those small (or not that small) details and discover such amazing things! No way I would have run onto this very interesting info, should I not be into modeling!

My friend @lis, I am afraid I will have to use the second option...meaning no triple parallel wires... 🙁

But there will be three wires there, just not parallel, some laundry could be hung there! 🙂

@fiveten Looks great!

Almost ready to cross the finish line...

The prop hubs received some wash, the tip lights were rendered, numerous touchups and corrections as well!
Only the top "astrodome type" tansparency is to be fitted.
Thanks for stopping by!

No, the blades should be all metal, no stripes whatsoever, my friend @lis.
Cicogna pics show them like this, Italeri instructions also advise to have them all metal, no stripes. Interstingly, Special Hobby advise black blades with yellow tips, but their boxart show the blades all metal!

Great to see the finished model! I really think you did a great job with this aging kit.

@fiveten well Done! I didn't get to the thank you list for cheering, but I was a bit late with my presence in this respectable modeling group, which I try to make up with the models I make 😉

PS. What kind of guns had Cigogna on turrets?
