Mirage F1 AZ 1/32 Scale, Scratch Build. Part 5

Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-5, Wilde Sau, Eduard, 1/48
This one has been waiting for the last few details for some time, and was actually started in October 2018! I really liked the colors of “white 1” from JG300, but sadly my airbrush skills were not up to the thin lines needed for that [...]
