Re: ID me 109 model
Mathieu
I am speculating that the paint job and the transfer markings are much later than the model perhaps painted on by an enthusiastic young modeller. I also speculate that the markings come from the old Airfix 1/72 Hs126 scale model whose decals included 5F+AK. My guess is that if the paint and markings were carefully and non-abrasively stripped off a very nice original wartime aluminium metal representation would emerge.
Something that is strange also is that the message in german on the base mentions 1940-1941 yet the model has a DB605 of the F or G model neither of which served in 1940.
