Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (MT-451) Finnish airforce, Trumpeter 1:32 Completed

Been building this kit on and off for about a year, trumpeters 109 G-6 built as MT-451 finnish airforce. Flown by among others one of the great aces Ilmari Juutilanen.
Trumpeter kit has many faults but its an ok kit, great fit and will look good with some minor modifications. But I still think hasegawa is the best one with some resin upgrades. In my dreams I still see a Tamiya 1:32 109G-6 full detail kit.. that would be the day. To many allied 1:32 kits from them so time for the axis side.

Many parts taken from another 109 build Im working on, revells G-6. The trumpeter cockpit is awful more in 1:31 scale and the details are not even close to the real thing. Spinner has the wrong shape, was planning on using a resin one but it does not fit the fusalage so half of it is from revell and the other half from trumpeter. Painting done with gunze and masked with white tac and paper that I cut out from a 1:32 drawing copy.
