For the E, Eduard & Cyber-Hobby.

The F, Hasegawa - not an enormous choice out there.

For the G, Hasegawa & the new Revell G-6's & G-10's. The Revells are great value, maybe not quite as detailed as the Hasegawa's, but a lot cheaper.

I just finished building Revells new tooled Bf 109G-6 and it is great value for you buck . It has really nice detail for the pit and wheel wells and goes together well with very little putty need .

Cyber-hobby kits of the E series are awesome kit's ! Loads of detail , but they do have fit issues .

Eduard kits are also right up there as well with their E series and have lot's of up-grades in their Brassin Sets which I highly recommend having a look at .

Can't comment on the Hasegawa kit . Never built one in 32 scale .

Just a comment on the 109E. The Cyber Hobby E is a little more accurate if a little More Pricy than the Eduard. That being said I have built 2 of the Eduard 109Es and they do turn out nicely with a little correction to some details.

Thanks des and Lance. The Mottle on Wicks 109 was painted using thinned Poly Scale Paint. I then went back and rubbed it down with 1200 grit polishing cloth to even things out. Perhaps a sponge would have been easier but I was able to apply things the way I wanted them with the control of the brush.
Sorry for the slight Hijacking of the thread  :-[

I built the Eduard 109E and I had started the trumpeter version first. Whatever you do DO NOT buy a Trumpeter 109... its dreadful. I can't comment on the Dragon kits but have built the Revell 109 G6 and for the money is a fantastic vallue biuld, of course a few issues but if you arent too worried about them or are prepared to scratch or buy add ons it's  kit well worth the money, I think they do the G10 now too.

By the way, I also have started a Hasegawa Bf109F4 Trop. which I m converting to a F2 using the Aires set originally designed to convert the G into an F. I really like the interior parts and cowling in the Aires set.
