*... I have seen a japanese version. Apparently 4 machines were sent to japan for evaluation.

• 2 possible options : either the Japanese left the airplanes with their German camouflage and only applied Japanese markings to it or they did a more thorough job and also repainted the planes in the usual Japanese green scheme.

I'm more thinking of making one used in north africa with the "desert" camo but I'm having a hard time finding decent references..

Simply adding a texture won't do for a desert version, as those airplanes were modified for use in tropical conditions. Aat least you have to add the "Tropenfilter" of which you can find 2 images - open and closed - at this link :[

I would prefer a specific version and subversion correct in every detail rather than a generic airplane that could be any and at the same time none of the Bf109's many versions.
