JG2 "Richtofen" decals
 
I am attempting to build an "accurate" 1/48th scale Bf109E-4 flown by Helmut Wick...however, Tamiya kit decal emblem is incorrect...has silver field when should be white. Does anybody have a spare set with the white field in their "spares" box that you can part with? I'd appreciate it.
Thank you, ross

BTW
Do you have correct markings including a bird?

yes, I have the bird, and will adapt what I have to later markings after he became Kommodore as shown in Jagdwaffe, Battle of Britain, part 4. It is the shield that is the problem.

Thank you,
ross

Oh, yes, I like the markings most. Beautiful mottling on the yellow bits and shadowed markings. Remember the bird was partially obscured and that the ID plate was well visible. Also, the armoured windscreen was already removed. Kill markings were likely with Blackgreen surround and not black as usually depicted.
How about last victim of Wick? There is a pristine photo of her.
