At a flea market I had bought the model kit of the Messerschmitt Bf109E-3 from Hasegawa in 1:48, on which the machine J-355 was depicted by the Fliegermuseum in Dübendorf.
A good older kit, with which the enclosed extensive Decalbogen already very yellowed and therefore unfortunately no longer to be used.
So I had intended to map with the kit the Me-109 E-3 J-350 of the Swiss flier group from the Fl Kp 9 in Avanches 1941. For this, I got the Decalssatz of Kora, which also contains the Swiss stick as a Resinteil.

Here I had to modify the restraints for the Swiss version.
Here, the mentioned modified retaining strap fastening as well as the bulges for the two Swiss Mg-29 on the bonnet are clearly visible. The Swiss MG 29 were installed in parallel in contrast to the German MG 17 variant.
