Found some pictures of Von Werra's 109. Did not locate any copyright info connected with these.

Von Werra had a pet Lion cub that became the Squadron mascot.

Can anyone confirm the white wing tips.

On the lion? :shock:

Must be a griffin... :ha:

Here's a link to the Bf-109E walkaround hosted on the IPMS Stockholm site.

I've had a good search tonight, Jeff, and I can't find any photos of the wingtips so I guess the choice is yours.

An interesting discussion thread on interior colours is here:

You can go for RLM02 or RLM66, or combinations of the two!

As I have Vallejo Air RLM02, but would have to mix RLM66, guess which I will opt for? :)
