The only reliable info is either original Messerschmitt blueprints or quality reference books, like the Japanese publication Aero Detail.
Indeed. There's A guy that goes by the name of Otterkins over at simmerspaintshop.com that has been working for quite a while on making the most accurate Bf-109 line drawings, and it was a learning experience just reading the lengths he went to just to find the right proportions of an oil filler cap. There are a ton of drawings and plans for 109s, but most of them are crap. Even profiles made by some well-known artists are not very correct. The point is, good luck getting a "perfect" shape! :-?
@JapanCat: you've already done A LOT on these messers, so thank you for making my favorite plane pleasing to the eye again!
