This interesting camouflage scheme has always been high on my list as a collector. Unlike most of his Luftwaffe contemporaries, the ill-fated ace, Werner Molders, flew a BF-109E in the Spring of 1940 which was painted in RLM 02 ( a light gray/green ) over its upper surfaces with green blotches on the wings and tailplanes.This resulted in a very effective air superiority motif. So when I heard that Corgi was putting this particular plane out I was pleased------until I learned that it was part of the on- the- cheap Warbird line. That meant that there was no pilot figure, no swastika or Pik A logo, no wheels down option, and other cost saving omissions.

Anyway, the model finally arrived and I have just finished putting it in shape for display. Werner is in the cockpit---minus his legs--- and the plane now sports the Pik A emblem, a small swastika, red no-walk lines, plus various weathering refinements, navigation lights, etc. Here's how it looks:

Another great model upgrade! Looks great with all the modifications you did to it.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

Nice, am still working up courage to try this on some of my warbirds like JPN also did a while back.
