FYI, Montex has a mask for Swiss markings on the Tamiya kit. It's not that exact aircraft, but very similar.

Neat score! I don't envy you painting those markings, but I have a Viggen in the closet so I can understand where you're coming from.

1/48 Tamiya Swiss Bf109 E-3

Good afternoon friends. After three months of being laid off I finally found a job so I decided to treat myself.  This is a 1/48 Tamiya Bf109 E-3 in Swiss livery.  The Swiss 109's are my favorite so when Tamiya released this limited edition kit, I snatched one up!  I've never had one of these white box kits as they're pretty rare over here.  I was hoping the decals were Print Scale but it looks like their factory decals as they are quite thick. Tamiya used Print Scale for their regular 109 E-3 kit but no such luck here. So it looks like I'll be airbrushing the swiss colors myself.
