Thank you for your kind comments todate Gents The 109 is always a lovely war bird to make and appreciate.

Hi bullit,

if you dont mind i want to point out something.
First, very good work. I am interested in this airplane too, have three from Revell.

Nice work, sadly i am miles away from your great work.

I searched the internet and one fact is, that Shiess operated from Sicily, so there were green camou patterns on the wing. As i read further, the aircraft had the new style (armor glass) protection.

Its no criticism, only some facts:

look here if you want. Enlarge those photos to see those details

Thank you David198502.

LcSummers, some interesting points there thank you, there appears to be some level of controversy over exact markings for this plane even to the 'G' variant involved althogh this would have been progressive. Photos only seem to provide a snap shot of a particular variant/markings at any given particular time, I decided to go somewhere in between Osprey's Aces of the Mediterranean and an article in 'Military in Scale' Mag. Research can sometimes raise more questions than answer so my model could very well be wrong in some ways.

Very nice. I was wondering what scale it is - 1/48th ?

Made some kits long time ago and have been tempted to dip a toe in the water again, but time is too tight right now.
