hello

I just bought mpm bf109h1(a very modified g5) and fw190s5 (twin seater version) 1/72nd kits.
Does anyone know where I can find info about these planes ?
Also, what were the colors of luftwaffe fighters for these parts :
- cockpit
- instrument panel
- wheel well
- landing gear

cheers !

You can try going to the Bf 109 Lair. They have some close up shots. Not sure what the address is, but do a search on google, you'll bound to get there.

I'm not realy a messershmit and FW fan. There are too many on the market...
But the models I've found are different, they look different.
The messerschmitt has a completely different wing and I think only one prototype existed. And it was
destroyed in 1944...
So I didn't go for the books as I think I've got very little chances of finding something.
As for the inside colors, I knew someone would be able to give me a good link !
Also, in France, the books a so expensive...
