Many moons ago I carved my own balsa wood masters and made a set of plaster of paris female molds and made then a set of resin and fiber glass parts to modify the Hasegawa Bf-109E kit into an early production Bf-109B. I also found that there was a lot of work to correct the cockpit. They have all the parts in there but they are spread out too far along the walls of the cockpit. A lot of work to correctly re-position the bits. I have found recently that the old Matchbox 1/32 scale Bf-109E is actually more accurate in outline and cockpit proportions. The Hasegawa kit has a too shallow fuselage profile. Having seen the decal sets that Meteor has released, I may go for one of those Bf-109B/C/D mod kits and see how it works with one of the Matchbox kits I have.
