This is the Planet Models Messerschmitt Me-109 TL in 1/72nd scale. It is an all resin kit from the Czech Republic. It was a lot of fun to build, even though it was my first resin kit. The canopy doesn't fit so well because it's from the Airfix 1/72nd Bf-109 G-6. The kit canopy was a vac-form piece that I managed to destroy while trimming the excess. Since the TL never got off the drawing board, I decided I could do an early was camo scheme using late war colors, and no one could tell me I was wrong! Haha! The under sides are LifeColor RLM 76 and the upper surfaces are a combination of LifeColor RLM 75 and 81.
I also thought it would look cool to have the landing gear half extended, as though it was just leaving the runway. The flying base is nothing more than a good old fashioned Games Workshop flying base. I think it turned out pretty well.
