Nicely done.  It's funny, how much the radial engine disguises the look and the brain says FW-190 instead of Me-109.

 Good looking build, but I can't help but think it would be more at home in hinomarus than hakenkreuz...

My thoughts exactly - nice build  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hi Tom
Very nice build on an awkward kit,  :thumbsup:
judging by the canopy and the tailplane struts you`ve built the 109V-21, but nice work just the same.
Cheers  :drink:

Hi Gary,

I built the kit out of the box. LF have both a V-21 and an "X" but they tried to do both with the same molds, so the V-21 isn't a V-21 (wrong cowling) and the "X" is not an X. But well..... what if the Germans built an "X" out of an "E"..........

Hi`s Agin
How did that kit go together ?. I`m still struggleing with my conversion that seems to be taking forever and am now on the canopy moulding stage.
Did you manage to find any photo`s of the real thing? I`ve been through all my reference and spent hours on the net with nothing top show but 3 pics of the V.21
Once again , nice build

Gary,

They kit was fairly straightforward to build. Most of the parts look as if they were copied from an injected 109E. There is not very much interior detail. The decals I used come from an old Aeromaster sheet. I haven't found any pictures of the real thing, just like you only the three of the V-21.
