With the bunch of left over Japanese kits ( Aoshima's plus LS and some Hasegawa) there was also this Me-109. But it's fuselage was a tad too bulbous especially in the tail section. It's form was very generic and tried to be an F version of the Me-109. Have still no clue what brand it is, but liked it anyway because of it's shape issue's. It was also missing tailplanes, prop and a canopy. Maybe because of it's bulbous shape I was figuring it could be a home grown eastern europe fighter (Rumanian or Hungarian) if WW II never happened.

Varga was a shortlived Hungarian aircraft manufacturer from founded by engineer László Varga. He is known for producing the world's first turboprop aircraft.

With this basic idea I tried another engine and found an Me-410 engine fitted pretty good and an Me-262 ( That too wide early revell one) canopy looked good aswell. To have some better detail on it's wings I included some Matchbox Bf-109E wings. Thusfar it's all Messerschmidt. To mess recognition up I'll put some Spitfire undercarriage and wheels on it.
I'll probably paint it in Hungarian 40-ies livery. Not sure if I put those gaudy red, white green colors on it's horizontal and vertical tailplanes.

Still need to put some radiators below it's wings and get those massive rivets of the fuselage.
