You can't find a plane more rare than a Israeli Defense Force Me-109. Ironic use of a German plane.

Google IDF Me-109.

Personally, I like the Romanian 109 E's.

How about doing one from Finland? Although it might be a "g" version?

I actually won a box of 6 of the C21 kits for the ME-109. I have decals already for a Finnish and a Bulgarian version. Trying to find some Italian markings and then I'll just need schemes for the remaining three kits.

The Romanian looks good - hope there are decals made for it. Or I guess I can learn to make my own.

Inaccurate it may be, but I think the IDF/IAF Avia looks really cool, and as previously mentioned is extreme irony (Thankfully!)
