Regarding the pictures of the stabiliser shadows on the 109's- they were not fixed completely to the tail section. They could be tilted to trim the aircraft- as i understand it they were not adjustable in-flight, and could only be set by groundcrew. I think the shadow gap is overdone but it is not apparent on the models of the other planes (such as the Spits and Hurricanes).
The problem of floating elements on smaller parts such as the exhaust covers and aerial masts is definitely there, as illustrated by the excellent examples posted by Major_setback, but the 109 stabilisers shadow gaps is partly due to the design of the real aircraft and therefore the true-to-life computer model.
