I really can't tell Cees. There are so many repaint done for this model, so "most likely" is the closest I can get.
The aircraft is from 9./JG51 and it carries the insignia of III Gruppe JG51 "Axt von Niederrhein" under the canopy. The aircraft made a successful belly landing on a French beach during the summer of 1940 after which it was written off.
I did some quick searches in our library but nothing came up. The main problems are the difference in notation. And some artists release packages with repaints for this model, without a detailed overview of what the package contains.
Cheers,

I've done a quick and dirty repaint. I doubt wether it's historically accurate, but I like it.

Beautiful paint job!
That yellow on topside of wings is certainly an interesting item. I was also wondering but then, assuming the restorers of a similar airplane were correct in their work, it looks like yellow on top is authentic:

That article^^^^^ by John Romain on the 109E's idiosyncrasies,handling characteristics and engine/propeller management certainly gives food for thought when having a go with the WOP/A2A 109E.
I've heard before that 109's of any flavour don't like hard runways,grass is far better for takeoff and landing
with them.
