Looks like a pretty standard Erla built G-6 to me.

just ordered my copy today, this will be one of those series that if you dont get it when you can you wont find it when you need it ie: the Me262 series.

It wouldnt help to look towards other fighters for style or scale as the markings were all put on in the different factories so size and placement and style did vary considerably. Best to put as many komet photos together with their Werk numbers if possible (it could have changed per batch like...
