Excellent commemorative scheme.
Just one thing that doesn't look right to me; It needs a Spitfire/Hurricane chasing the 109, close to the pilot sketch. To me it reads that the named pilot flew the 109.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Just the decals will do, I'll find me a kit. Pity the RAF don't go the whole hog like this with the commemoratives on the Typhoon, this looks terrific.
