I could send you the decal sheet from this kit if you fail to find any specific Reich defence markings.

I'll build the kit as a Finnish plane so the whole sheet will go unused.
Just a warning though, having built a few academy kits before, I their own decals are something I'll replace in the future. (touching-up silvering on airbrushed mottling is just as fun as it sounds...) I just can't get them to settle down without silvering. They seem to require a really smooth glass-like surface.
But anyway, if you want to see how they work out for you, I can send you the entire shee, I won't be missing it.
Here's a pic of the it:

I checked the instructions, two options are pointed out to Greece and Sicily, and one, Bf-109G6, Kdr.II./JG52, flown by Hptm. Gerhard Barkhorn don't have place of service mentioned, although I suspect this is from the eastern front, as it has the yellow fuselage band and yellow wingtip undersides.

If you look arround on the internet a bit you will found loads of aftermarket decal sheets. try for instance http://www.squadron.com

i am pretty sure you will find some on there.

Hi,

I don't think I can use the decals for this Groupbuild if the aircraft was flown on the Eastern Front.

About Squadron,
I have looked into squadron but it costs an arm and a leg to send it here.So that option is kinda gone.

So still looking guys.
