Hello,
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.

I wasn't aware the crosses had types. I knew some were different but didn't know they had "names" for them

How about that. Could one use this info as a "cheat" to figure out which variant?

Hi Steph,
Why wait 2 days? to let the decals dry?
and what do you use for varnish?
Good job !!!

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
Lookin' good Steph...

Hello,
Weathering almost done. It will be light: this aircraft is almost new at this time (maybe one month or less)

You have caught that "I'm quite new" effect nicely Steph.

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.
