She looks a real beaut, used to seeing her in the Battle of Britain colours so this is something different,it would look really good to have her on a desert airfield

Bet the allies were well pleased when he died as he was going to be a real handful. A freak accident or what? I have read stories of him not being able to fly and being unfit from a night of debauchery I think they had a vision of air combat akin to WWI pilots.

It is a nice plane and, puts us in line with it being an SL to get the winter tiger 1 for Chrimbo (thats if the last one is a tiger but, my money is on it)

It's not quite the same colour scheme. The K&C model has a red rudder and the light blue colour half way up the side of the fuselage. The K&C version is the one of 4 Bf109F-4 /Trop that he flew. The K&C model is from February 1942 to celebrate his 50th victory. The rudder is red with 50 victory marks and no wreath, also no unit logo on the engine cowling. http://www.flying-tigers.co.uk/acatalog/Marseille_Collection.html

There are lots of photos and film of Marseille showing him in differently marked Me-109s.
