Where does everyone find their Finemold's 109's... or do you find them? The well known auction site seems over-priced on the kits AND shipping (especially the shipping!)... and HLJ seems MIA on having anything in stock! Am I missing something? |

Place an order with HLJ. They will place an order with their distributor. The process may take several weeks. |

Ebay has the F-4 and K-4 for about $23 ("free" shipping). |

Which versions are you after? I have multiple of most and am coming to realize I'll never build them all. |

Thanks Ruud, but looking for G-6's with the Erla Haube and G-10's. Sent you a PM Chuck. |

Hi J C, I got most of my Fine Mold 109's from HLJ (a few locally but they were outliers). Hobby Search is my back up supplier from Japan. They are normally a little more expensive than HLJ but still reasonably priced after packaging when you get a few items. They seem to have most of the 109's in stock. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=10...sserschmitt+109 Cheers Michael |

J.C., Amazon has them for $21.22 with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Fine-Molds-Messersch...n/dp/B000PBSI62 Incidentally, for those who aren't familiar, only the Finnish iteration of their Bf 109 comes with two canopies, including the Erla Haube. |

Curiously, anyone notice that it does not appear FM has ever offered a tall-tail/Erla-canopy option G-6/G-14 with the round gun bulges on the cowl? (Like Academy and Hasegawa has) |

Yes, J. C. I have twice cut the top off of a G-10' fin along the panel line and grafted it on to a G-6 to make the tall tail version. I would love to see them go a G-14. Fortunately I have two projects in mind for a short tailed K prototype and a G-10 with the same feature, so nothing will be wasted. No, it is not "GiGi" which I have already done and posted on this site very early in its life. |

Don't many of the AZ kits come with the tall tail/rudder as extra parts? Could those be used on the FM? |
