After-market items:
It was used Eduard interior PE and Bf 109E armament set (MG 17 tips, MG FF barrels) from Master Model.

Decals :
The "black 3" was cut from the "black 8" because Tamiya's kit had not that decal.

Painting :
I use Tamiya paints mixtures for RLM02, RLM71 and RLM65

The painting shows the left wing wear probably caused by the desert sands.
