Decals done; I chose "F" model balkenkreuze (with black outline) for this "Yellow 7". I didn't find any photo of this aircrat where we can see the balkenkreuze. But, numerous Bf 109G-2s, but not all, of this unit, wore this "F" type during Summer 1942.
Now I'm going to wait 2 days before applying a coat of gloss varnish. This will give me time to work on his brother in arms.
I would like to thank Wayne Little for his precious help.
IMHO Stephane means the Bf 109F variant of the plane than the LW balkenkreuze one. It can be noticed that each of the Bf 109 variants had its own type applied.

In fact, I don't have any real reasons for this 2 day wait, perhaps unconsciously to avoid a bad reaction or more probably out of simple habit
Here is the gloss varnish I use
Ok!! Now you have me wanting to weather my current 109 build. Certainly what you have done has created a very nice, 3D, finished look. Not sure about 'quite new' (my default and very plain builds), but, again, nicely done.
