DSC01412
New sweet kit of the week, the WW2 German Bf 109f-4 in Africa corp tropical or desert paint scheme.
Really interesting thing about this kit is that it centers on the "Star of Africa" Hans-Joachim Marseille who has a confirmed 158 victories. Here's his wikipedia post as it s a interesting read

The kit comes with decals in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 for Marseilles personal Kubelwagen "OTTO", going to have to go find one in 1/144 and make a small diorama me thinks.

Usual excellent instructions with 1/1 painting guide of the 1/144 aircraft, luckily not a massive difference in paint schemes so no hard choice.

Easy to follow instructions even though there lots of Japanese texts.
