This is 1/48
Tamiya Messerschmitt Bf-109 E7 coded S9 DR
of III / ZG 1 Libya during 1942.
The aircraft
camouflaged in RLM 78/79. Starboard wing probably comes from another aircraft
which retained the older RLM 02/71 scheme.
Theatre
markings include white spinner, wingtips and fuselage bands. Although identified
as E-7 the aircraft features spinner of older type.

I started with
the cockpit as usual. The components are painted to RLM 02.
Cockpit area
modified by using Eduard instrument panel and Ultracast seat. The painting
was done with Gunze Sangyo acrylics
Reference
profiles and decals of codes numbers on the fuselage are from Kagero- Jagdwaffe
Over Africa vol1 book.
The main wheels
and exhausts are replaced by Ultracast goodies.
Finally it s
finished after some weathering and a matt coat from Gunze acrylics.
Happy modelling
