Got that covered John, I have this one in the stash and a conversion set as well but I'll save them for another time!
If you have two Bf 109W conversions and or kits, and the Bf 109Zwilling was never completed, why not combine them into a Bf 109ZW? It can't be any less realistic than a 'production' Bf 109Z. Imagine a Bv 138 boomed tail but with only two engines and floats instead of a boat body!
If you go with it, the floats should incorporate the guns used in the R6 conversion. note that this drawing used a Bf 109G-2 instead of the Bf 109F-4 fuselages used to vuild the prototype that was destroyed suring a bombing raid prior to completion.

So here's the kit, an all resin one from Planet Models. The kit has around 64 parts, the main bodies come as 1 piece and it looks like I have a little crack in my tailplane I'll have to repair. It has a vac canopy but I might replace that with a plastic one from my spare box.

Wow!
Super interesting!

Interesting indeed. Don't think I've ever seen a kit so built up out of the box.

Yeah, I was surprised too when I got the kit. It seems to share some similarities with the Hasegawa kit but in a way kinda nice that it is all 1 piece. It's quite the mold, might have to re-scribe some panel lines and will definitely have to clean things up a bit.
The cockpit is a little sparse, but not too bad
Drop tanks, intakes and canon pods
landing gear!
exhausts and props.....the resin is nice!
The outer wings fit fairly well too but are going to require some work.
and the spare canopy I had in the spares box fits like a glove so I'll use that (because I only go with vac canopies when I have to!).

Just think of the work you'd have if the fuselages were separated.

Takes the pain out of alignment!
