I have absolutely no idea what they are, or what they are for! :grin:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Probably just identification markings.
I used to have a set of Gruppe/Staffel/Geschwader decals for 109, which had black spots that would have been approx that size.
The little holes just aft of the yellow band, are for handling by ground crew - Shove a rod through the tail then lift by hand.

Fantastic job Iggie - I'm pretty sure I have this kit stashed somewhere - and a conspicuous looking space on my 1/32nd shelf... Hmmm.......
