If desired, a functional, scale-like antenna mast can be made using
a 3" (75 mm) length of scrap nylon pushrod tubing, pre-painted
either in gray or flat black. Drill a pilot hole for this antenna mast,
1/2" behind the top rear edge of the canopy, centered on the top of
the fuselage. The antenna mast is now glued into the drilled hole
using 5-minute epoxy glue. The receiver antenna can now be
routed up through the antenna mast tube and extended back to the
top leading edge of the vertical fin where it can be secured with a
small bead-head pin.

Many of us enjoy seeing a pilot figure in the cockpit of our models.
In the case of the Bf-109, this simple addition looks great and
provides a sense of scale and realism to the finished airplane. Our
pilot figure started life as a Williams Bros. 1/6th scale Standard
Pilot figure. After assembling it, we, then, cut down the figure to fit
within the cockpit area. Then, we used plastic paints to add color
and finish to the pilot. We mounted him in place and remounted
the canopy.

Use a fine applicator tip and thin CA to place a drop of glue into the
screw holes in the fuselage to "harden" them. Reinstall the braces
and screws.

FINAL DETAILS:
The canopy is now mounted in place over the cockpit. From the kit
parts, locate the canopy and the four T2 x 6 mm PWA mounting
screws. In top view, the canopy is centered over the cockpit with
approximately 1/8" of its rear edge extending back past the rear
surface of the slanted cockpit/fuselage former. Use small pieces of
tape to hold the canopy in this position. Use the four T-2 x 6 mm
PWA screws; threaded through the provided holes in the canopy,
to secure the canopy in this final mounted position. Remove the
tape holding the canopy, and then, remove the four mounting
screws. We suggest using a fine tip applicator with thin CA to
harden each of the screw holes. A single small drop of thin CA
glue, applied directly into each hole will provide hardened threads
for secure mounting.

The simulated supercharger air scoop (Bag #11), located on the
left side of the cowl is now glued in place with the lower front
corner of the scoop 1-1/2" (38 mm) ahead of the back edge of the
cowl and 3/8" (9.5 mm) above the exhaust manifold. To mount this
part, we used thick CA glue, sparingly applied to the bottom
surface of the air scoop.

If desired, typical plastic paints can be used to add a little more
detail and realism to the cowl. The two machine gun troughs on
top of the cowl can be painted flat gray to simulate gunpowder
staining. The molded gun barrels can be painted flat black. The
two exhaust manifolds can be painted a smoky gray to simulate
burning exhaust.
