With a little help from the excellent Squadron-Signal publication "Messerschmitt Me-109 in Action Part 2", lent to me by one of the guys in my local club, I chose the finish of RLM 81/82 over 76, with yellow rudder and noseband. The aircraft is werk nummer 15153, involved in a landing accident in 1945 despite the larger tyres and longer tailwheel of this aircraft.

Extras: Reheat seat belts

Finish: Aeromaster, Lifecolour & Tamiya acrylics, Johnson's Klear, oil wash, Cryla artist's Matt Varnish & artist's pastels

Brush: Badger 150 copy with nitrogen tank & regulator (15-30 PSI)
