The angular wing and the conspicuous crosses make the Emil a rewarding subject; 1:72 Bf 109 E masks for crosses supplies the stencils for spraying them.
Responsibility details are not available.
The large crosses on the squarely clipped wing are part of why the Bf 109 of the E series is built so readily. The masking stencils make it possible to apply them in paint so that they copy the curvature of the fuselage and the leading edge of the lifting surface exactly. A sprayed marking also stands up better to later treatment with pigments and varnish.
The Emil is the form of the machine that most people picture first: squarely clipped wingtips, a tail surface supported by struts and the DB 601 engine with direct fuel injection. Across the Channel it flew at the limit of its range, which tied its pilots' hands far more than the performance of the aircraft. The later subversions therefore received a rack for a drop tank. The limited time the machines could spend over southern England became one of the reasons why the German fighter arm could not look after its own bombers throughout a raid.
On rounded places, such as the side of the fuselage under the cockpit, press the film down in the middle first and only then smooth it gradually toward the edges. Anyone who starts from a corner makes a fold for themselves, under which the paint will run. Lukewarm air softens the film and makes the work easier. If it does not sit down somewhere, press it again and let it rest a while before you start spraying.
