This
is Hauptmann Hans Joachim Marseille’s G-2/F-4/Trop Wrk No 5237 when he was
Staffelkapitan 3 Staffel JG 27 at Ain-El-Gazala, Libya.
The aircraft sports all his 158 kills when he was killed bailing out
during a routine Stuka escort mission (his aircraft had an engine fire).
The model is the so-so Hobbycraft 109 E offering with scratch built
tropical filter.
Decals are from the spares box and from the kit.
The model was hand painted and the weathering done with pastels and
sponge.
