Read Galland's auto-bio, and got this kit on ebay. Older kit, copyright showed as 1988. Decal sheet yellowing indicated it might be that old, but sprues were all still in plastic wrap.
Used this thread Galland's Bf 109E-4 1/32 scale as an initial guideline.
I followed the painting instructions that accompanied the kit. You "authenticists" out there will surely find inaccuracies in my work, but with my skill level, and now three years since my return to this hobby, I'm generally pleased with the results. Some of the smaller decals for handholds, and filler ports didn't get quite over their respective panel lines. When I tried to slide them into a final, correct spot, they were stuck in place. So there they stayed. Werk number decal is "5019".
A Midway-battle SBD Dauntless is next.
