This is considered sport scale right????

[Aros]

Yes it would be.

[Randy H]

This has got to be a sport scale, It kind of looks like an e model 109. The landing gear is in the wrong place and the outline of the model is way off. To bad it is not truer to scale it looks more sport scale than anything else.

[Aros]

It's definitely sports scale. I had the Nexa P-38. While it was sports scale, it flew fabulously and still had the general look I was after.

[Randy H]

True this may be a good choice for someone who wants a model that kind of has the ME 109 looks. I was hoping for a motion would come out with a more scale like 109. We can always hope.

This is an ME109G6 I built from a Sky Shark kit years ago. I was hoping that Motion would come out with something like this with more detail. This 109 is in Italian air force colors.

Is there a thread in rcgroups on this model, or VQ 60 size 109? How is the chance the main wheel well being modified to a scale location?
