This release features some of the most interesting Emil schemes yet seen in decal form, including a well-known example of a III./JG53 aircraft with an overpainted Hakenkreuz.

- E-1, Gelbe 2, 6./JG52, mid-1940

- E-4, Weiße 5, Uffz. Hans-Georg Schulte, 7./JG53, 16 September 1940 (note temporary white distemper on cowl covering the "Rotring" and the overpainted Hakenkreuz on the fin)

- E-1, Weiße 11, III./JG53, September 1940

- E-3, Gelbe 15, Uffz. Karl Wolff, 3./JG52, October 1940 (another machine featuring the temporary white theatre markings on the nose and tail)

- E-3, Gelbe 5, II./JG52, August 1940 (The sheet claims this is the aircraft of Oblt. Paul Gutbrod; however, one source described the  inscription as being put on the aircraft to commemorate the loss of Oblt.Gutbrod in the Dutch campaign.  I will find this source and confirm...)

This is the first of the five releases so far to not offer any options in 1/72 scale, but this should in no way be seen as a deterrent- once again, the markings are in perfect register on my sample, the sheet is very well researched, and all schemes given match original photos in the Jagdwaffe series of books as well as the Jagdfliegerverbände Teil 4/II book from Struve-Druck.  

My thanks to Cutting Edge for the review sample.
