It looks lovely! Congrats to yourself and Otter for getting it there.

You are all probably sick of seeing it, seeing as every month or so I dig it out and give the ol gal a good going over, but I feel the update is worth it this time.
This is the old G-2 template which has been extensively updated due to new photographic reference. The nose shape and detail has been reworked along with the tail. Wing shape and position has been adjusted along with some details.
The overall shape has been refined in most cases too, most of the stuff is small, but I think the work has been worth it. Some stuff may look like it is missing, but on the type that the template is being prepared for such details would not be present.
This is as close as we (Otter and I) think we can get it, if you think otherwise, we are open to suggestions, provided they are backed up with good reference.
Here is a small tribute to Red 7 (D-FWME), as depicted before her accident.

Why apologize? I for one am always happy to see another version of your 109, along with Blowhard's Zeke, it is one of my favorite profiles ever posted here.![]()
awesome
With work of this caliber, there is never need for apology. I think between Otter and you, y'all have managed to build it better than Messerschmidt.

It's not like I don't keep digging out the old Zero![]()
Looks REALLY great! It's got to be one of the best most accurate out there, and IMHO, it IS the best!
One thing, maybe you're a bit heavy with the creases between the fuselage sections?
They don't seem to show up so prominently in photos. I like the way it looks but after all these years of looking at photos of the plane it strikes me as something I'm not used to seeing.
Can we have a close-up of the nose please?![]()
FAST AND BULBOUS!
