This latest release from Lifelike Decals features four different Me 109's.  This is Part 4 of  a series dealing with the Me 109 in Luftwaffe markings from the summer of 1940 in France to November of 1944 in Germany. 

The 4 aircraft include everything from an E-3 with the rounded canopy to a Trop MTO aircraft with camo that looks more ETO but it had the white wing tips and white fuselage band of the MTO and the big Tropical filter for the engine.  Plus you get an aircraft from the BOB. MTO and 2 for the defense of the Reich camapign.  Aircraft range from an 109E-3 to a 109G-6/AS

The quality of these decals is of very good quality.  The decals themselves are clearly printed and in perfect register.  Some decals come in 2 layers to ensure perfect registration.  

I love that there is a BOB fighter included on this sheet plus the oddly painted MTO Trop is also quite interesting.  Plus each aircraft has artwork...which is always a huge bonus when building WW2 aircraft.
