This latest release from Lifelike Decals decal sheet features four different Me-109's. This is Part 2 of a series dealing with the Me-109 in Luftwaffe markings from the summer of 1940 in France to the final months of WW2 as well as a Me-109 on the Russian Front in 1941. The first plane is a Me-109 G-6, White 1, flown by Hauptmann Erich Hartmann, Sta. Kap. 7/JG52, Hungary/Vezprem in March 1945. This is a well known aircraft flown by the highest scoring Luftwaffe ace.

The third plane is a Me-109 F-2, code # 9, flown by Oberleutnant Hans Philipp, Sta. Kap. 4/JG54 from Staraja AB in Russia in October 1941. This aircraft has a huge number of victory markings on the tail. This aircraft has yellow under the nose cowling as well as yellow wing tips.
