Here is my build of the new 1/48 scale Trumpeter Me 509, my model was built O.O.B. and painted with Model Master enamels, I chose not to use the kits decals and instead used an older EagleCals Bf 109 decal sheet from my spares box.

Great build Les, nice job! It is one bizarre looking bird for sure though. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jim!

Yes this one is ugly...it almost makes a Stuka look good by comparison.

Very cool! Never heard of the Me-509. Unusual, but neat.

I envy you your photography skills!
