I've finished my latest MOC, a WWII-era Messerschmitt Me-109. I guess it's
an Me-109E, since that's the only model with an pointed spinner. It's
dimensions are 32-studs(span) by 50-studs (length), so it's a bit larger
than what I usually build. I also added some custom decals to add some
interest (sort of IV/JG.51).

Unique/new features (as far as I'm aware):
- Custom canopy using modified Windscreen 4 x 4 x 3 with Hinge. Cutting
Legos with a Dremel is a sin to some people, but this was absolutely
necessary, and it inspired the entire project.

- Prop/spinner assembly made with 4x4 cone, 4x4 brick round with holes, (2)
hinge plate 1 x 8 with angled side extensions, and (2) click-brick technic
pins. Yeah, I know, the Me-109 had a 3-blade prop, but a 2-blade is the
best I could do.

- And I liked how the ejector exhausts came out:

Flaky aspects:
- No landing gear.
- The minifig pilot can't have arms :(.
- 2-blade prop instead of 3 blades.
Anyways, hope you like it. There's probably some room for improvement, so
let me know if you think of any. (I already see where a light grey slope 55
6 x 1 x 5 would make a better tail.)
Later,
Gary
