most numerously produced WWII fighter.
Intended in 1941, the Me-109 F /Friedrick/
modification with its powerful new DB 601
engine and heavy armament was considered
by many pilots to be the best Me-109 at all.

Study the drawings of assembly steps carefully before starting the work on
the model. Make sure you understand the purpose and place of every
part.

The assembly requires some basic tools, such as scissors, sharp
modeling knife, blunt knife for scoring the fold lines, ruler and needle.
Additional materials you need are one pin tomaketheairscrew'sshaft and
one piece of cardboard approx. 0.3 mm thick for reinforcing elements and
wheels. You'll need of course suitable cement too. For cement application
you can use toothpicks or some similar tool (special fine cement applicator
is most suitable if you have one).

First of all you must score with the blunt knife all fold lines shown on the
cutouts with short thin line marks near the parts. To avoid mistakes and
lost parts cut the necessary details shortly before their use. The places
where an additional cutting is needed are marked with small thick line
marks.

Start with the tail part of the fuselage. Cut part 1, bend it in oval form and
glue it using connecting stripes 1a - 1h and then insert the preliminary
folded former 1i in it. Be careful - appropriate forming of this part is a key for
good looking of entire model.

Continue with the cockpit fuselage section 2. Cut the place for wing
longerone on the connecting stripe 2b shortly before fixing the wing.

The nose part of the fuselage 3 requires the same attention as those of tail
part 1. Keep all lines of symmetry during fuselage assembly. Carefully cut
the internal holes in the formers 3h and 4b. Later the propeller shaft
bearing is to be inserted there.

Complete the fuselage, fixing its front part 4, cockpit 5 and oil cooler
cowling 6. Then add vertical stabilizer 7, engine air intake 13-13a and
exhaust shields 31, 32, together with exhaust pipes 31a, 32a. Optionally
you can add also the filter 14.

Now focus your attention on the wing. Glue the profiles 8a and 8b to the
longerone 8 and cover the obtained superstructure with the wing halves 9
and 110. Assure straight rear edges and avoid wrapping. Cement the
assembled wing to the fuselage. Prepare the aerodynamic wing-fuselage
joints 11 and 12, cutting them approximately to the middle line in
continuations of the linemarks outside the parts. After forming and several
dry tests glue them on their places. For cleaner job it is recommended to

cement the two water-cooling radiators 17, 18 to the under surface of the wing.

Assemble and glue the horizontal stabilizer 15, 16 to the tail.

Continue with the propeller. Assemble its shaft bearing 19 and insert the
formers 29a and 29b in it. Assemble the propeller spinner part 20, fix its
formers and make 3 small drills for the propeller blades' bases in it. Insert and
glue the pin that will serve as propeller shaft in the formers, then complete the
spinner, adding parts 21, 22 and the gun 23. Prepare the propeller blades. You
can make their bases 25a from pins or thin wire despite to bend them from
paper. Glue the blades to the propeller spinner, insert the propeller's shaft in
its bearing and cement the fixing element 24 to the shaft. The propeller must
be capable of rotating free .

Assembly the landing gear. Cut the wheels' part 29, 30 from thick card and
cement them together. Round their edges with sandpaper and retouch them
with black ink or paint.

Complete themodel, adding antennas 33.

If you prefer flying model, assemble it with retracted undercarriage and
abandon propeller blades. Add some weight in the nose for appropriate
model's balancing - Its center of gravity must be on approximately 25% of the
average wing chord.

Now yourmodel is ready. Enjoy yourMesserschmitt 109 F-4 fighter.
