Great looking model, Mattias! It's been nice to see a flurry of activity in

This is a truly elegant solution! I spent much of my time this weekend starting
(and finishing!) an Me BF-109, and I had the same goal - to mimic the subtle
wing angle. I had used several 1x2-to-1x2 hinges, with some appropriately sized
spacers, to come up with the right angle. Last night I put the finishing
touches on my model, and went online for a couple of moments. 10 minutes later
I was ripping the wings off to implement your new design ... it really is very
sturdy, the perfect angle, and compact, as you mentioned!
Nice job,
Shaun

| (...) Thanks Shaun I am most happy to influence your model of the Bf 109. I am really looking forward to see this new model of yours and to learn how you have solved the problem with the canopy and other tricky parts. Maybe I should arm my Mustangs (...)
