It's a Bf.109E-7 flown by Feldwebel Karl Laub,t 7/JG26, Ain El Gazala, Libya, June 1941

Hi Santynus, 

From a few color photos (at least one published by Dr. Prien) the heart was... black.
Your work is amazing and although the Bf 109 E is not the one version I prefer, I like your profiles.   

Cheers,

Hi Paul, 

With the Photbucket you have four possibilities. When you click on your picture you obtain what follows :



You choose the line (fourth) that I've marked with the red arrow (URL). You copy this line and paste it into your text. As follos and you obtain a Image thumb.

Hi Sall, 

See here :

Externally, the Magic I and Magic II have no differences.

Hi Sall,

I suppose you'll finish your Mirage as it's given by the decal sheet.
In this case, you can't use the Matra missile because too an old missile for the period 1978 to 1988 in Djibouti. Mirage III Cs of EC 3/10 "Vexin" were armed with Matra Magic I and they were the only ones Mirage III Cs having the possibility to be so armed.

Oh, yes ! The kit you show is mine... I built it in January 1985 a time when I still believed all that was written by "experts". Yes, there has been G-6ASs with red wheels, but I think only at the very beginning of delivery of this model to let know they were DB 605 AS-powered. But with the growing number of DB 605 AS and D powered planes, I think red wheels were dropped.
If you look, on "white 7", at the first exhaust pipe which is officially black you'll see it's of a light shade... Personnally, I think the wheels are not red neither on JG 300's plane nor on "white 7". I'll repaint the wheels of my kit black. A greyish black such as RLM 66.
Bur I must say that red wheels are more beautiful... 

Cheers,

Hi mate,

I don't think the wheels are red but simply a weary black paint. The tires have white sides, a common feature on the Bf 109s. The radar seems to be FuG 218 "Neptun" and antennas must be to be found too under the right wing.
When I first discoverd this photograph I thought that was a Bf 109 G-14ASN but the radio mast ON the fuselage indicates a DB 605 AS and Erla canopy-retroffitted G-6. This is a late G-6AS because of the larger oil cooler under the engine.
