This is a nice, basic model of the Tropical 109 used in North Africa. It doesn't have the detailed parts more expensive models do, and it only has one set of markings, but the fit is pretty good and it builds into a nice representation of the tropical 109. Nice model for a beginner

Came together nicely. No gaps. Decent exterior detail. Sparse cockpit. No gear up option. Good relief on canopy rails. 2 options for markings that are very similar. Camo scheme didn't look right. These birds transferred to Africa their green euro camo pattern and were hit with tan paint as a field expedient paint job. So tan paint was in splotches over the old paint. Not what they show. IMHO. Recommend.

This is a good model. It was easy enough. It looks great when finished though. Painting was easily the hardest part. The parts fit well, no issues there. All in all it is a solid kit.
