Hobbycraft 1/48th 109s are a good compromise between cost and quality.  Haseqawa are better quality but you pay for it.

If you want an easy kit (by easy I mean well made that goes together well) Then you can't go wrong with a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit...

1/48th hasagawa or 1/32nd hasagawa.
the 1.48th Revell/Monogram is ok if you save some bucks getting it. Any of the hasagawa kits build like a dream and come with great markings.

Yep, 1/48th for or 1/32nd Hasegawa.  

Check here for some great prices:

The 1/48th Hobbycraft and Revell/Monogram Bf109G10 cost a few dollars less but trust me that the Hasegawa is worth the extra few dollars in 1/48th.

As an occasional builder who used to do a lot, I've found the hasegawa and tamiya kits WELL worth the cost. The molds are generally newer, and most of the inexpensive mass market kits are originally from very old molds. That means mostly lower standards for detail, thickness, accurracy and especially fit.

There's nothing in plastic modelling like the pleasure a duffer like me gets when a kit just falls together. Less sanding, less filling, smooth lines, less tedious task work, great result. With the newer hasegawa and tamiyas, it's pretty common to have tight, almost invisible seams with sparing application of liquid solvent glue alone -- the resulting plastic gel becomes its own filler in the beautiful seams.

I found Squadron Hobby online to be a great supplier, btw.

Ah, just makes me want to open the closet and root around for that half finished D-Hog or the Hellcat i got the detail set for....


Nah, I'll just up another sortie/
