The folks at Meteor Productions continue to turn out great aftermarket

A complete set of maintenance stencils are also included on this
sheet.
These are nice colorful alternatives for those wanting a Bf 109 (or two)
that aren't wearing Luftwaffe markings.
Highly recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
