Have any of you guys, built the BF109E 1/24th scale model from Airfix,
that my next project, but after doing the walkaround and checking for
aftermarket interior resin pieces, found no one makes anything,
except for Waldron products ( a lot of scratch building ), any ideas?
suggestions?

While I haven't built one, I thought I would post a link for you to see somebody whose built quite a few of the Airfix kits and maybe give some inspiration if scratchbuilding is going to be required. Here it is:

FW190D-9

I have more links of Rodneys work if you want them.

Great site, Thank you, I saw couple of BF109E buildups,
Boy, isn't Rodney Williams a master modeler?, I couldn't
believe the amount of scratch built details. Blew my mind,
I even save that site on my favorites top list. :-)

Yes, Rodney Williams is a master modeler. He does some unbelievable work and I have as many of his builds I could find bookmarked. Here are some more links:

Sleepytime Gal-a great P-51 build comprised of seven articles. A link to each successive article is at the bottom of each page.

P-40-another seven part build. Look for each article on the page the link directs you to.

Dallas Doll-another P-51 comprised of two articles.
