A very interesting camo, Reinhard, perfectly executed.

Looks great as always. That oversprayed camo looks neat. I like the difference from the straight-edged typical look.

Is it possible you and your dad have outproduced Messerschmitt? 🙂
Keep ’em coming.

Great build, Reinhard.
Never new that there were so many variants in schemes.
This one also looks perfect.

Thanks John! That´s why the 109s are my dad´s favourite subjects, lots of versions, subversions, markings and camos.
