Well, I stand corrected . A quick Google search got me to Falke Eins's website from which I stole the following:

"Fliegerführer Afrika was part of Luftflotte 2 (Air Fleet 2), one of the primary divisions of the German Luftwaffe in World War II. It acted in the Mediterranean and Libya in North African areas during 1941-1942. The commanders were Generalmajor Stefan Fröhlich and Generalleutnant Otto Hoffmann von Waldau, who led the German air support to the German Afrika Korps campaign during the winter of 1941-1942. The specific aircraft in use by these commanders was one Heinkel He 111 H-4 (VG+ES) WNr. 4085, fully equipped - armed with five MG 15 and one MG 17, the capacity to load 1,000 kg of bombs internally and another 1,000 kg under the wings, also exterior fuel tanks...probably. Sub-type and WNr are contentious.."

 
Well that's answered that part! Still not sure about some of those other areas though, the dorsal canopy being one, possibly the main nose glazing, and of course that swastika. Overall though, it looks fairly good.
 
Ok next up is Third Place DeHavilland Hornet

Sure is. I wonder why the german unit did the camo in that fashion. I have to assume it is historically correct. Well done. Too bad the decals silvered a bit.
