I have used the Eduard Bf-109 E-1 as the base kit and converted it to D-1 by using the Alley cat conversion set.  Additionally I used the Quickboost pilot seat and Aires wheels are used as replacements for the kit wheels.

Painting was done with Gunze Sangyo acrylics. The scheme is a classical RLM70/71 over RLM65.

I have used old Cutting Edge #32091 decal sheet. But the sharkmouth decal was damaged during installation due to old age. That is why I have decided to use mask for the sharkmouth figure. Custom Mask is from DN models.

Happy modelling
