Seller is selling a Bf 109F front view ... Nothing helpful though.

Do you confirm that Bf 109E photos have nothing to do with Schnell's one?

Regards, Franck.
Franck, the aircraft is an E, note the octane triangle on the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit and no "F" type marking under the cockpit. To me this is a weird scheme. Why go to all the trouble to do extra camouflage, subdued markings including old style narrow white wing crosses and then put this big fuselage cross with wide white bands? An oxymoron!
