Sorry mate, but the Bf 109 F-4 was built from May 1941 (by WNF) onwards and then by Erla (from June 1941 onwards). First F-4 had WNr 7001. Messerschmitt GmbH built no F-4 at all...
In Autumn 1940, Galland's Bf 109 F was most probably an F-1 from Mtt GmbH (WNr 5621-5757).

This evening I added the white cowl marking we've been considering:

Thanks, y'all!

Here's a bit more of the kit review. Eduard has provided a very nice representation of the exhaust system for the Emil. Each stack is individually molded and snuggles tightly into the cowling slot. These key into the cylinder heads for alignment purposes.

Other nice details are also visible in the attention to small items like the brake lines on each gear strut.

The review sample is complete. Thanks to Eduard for producing this and No.1 for sending it to me for evaluation. I truly enjoyed the entire build. The fit is exemplary---even the opening portion of the canopy gave no problem! The clear parts fit so well that the center piece wedges in place tightly enough that glue is almost not needed.
