I always have a model simmering away in the background while my main build slowly comes together, that model is very often a Bf109 from my stash, and this one has been in and out of its box since November last year. I have been obsessed with Messerschmitt's diminutive fighter since a boy, and especially G-6's from the Defence of the Reich period. This model moves me one step closer to achieving my ambition of having one example of each RVD band colour, this green band denoting JG27, with its incongruous 'Africa' badge.

Don't fret though, the commissioned Mustang is almost finished too.
