I need to find some pics from above and below of this 109 if possible, anyone out there have some?
Messed up photo link first time around.
The colours I have so far are as follows-
Underside: RLM 65
Wings and stabilisers: RLM 02 & RLM 71 splinter
Nose and rudder: Orange Yellow
Fusilage: RLM 65 with RLM71 tight mottle
The pic you have is too small to pull any useful info from. If you can come up with a bigger pic, work number, pilot, or unit I might be able to help out. I know It’s a 109E, but that’s about it.
I collect WWII aircraft pic and have alot here, but I need more to go on.
This is ‘Pips’ Priller’s 109E-3 while he was Staffelkapitän of 6./JG 51. You can see the same profile HERE. It’s the second one down…
Will look and see if I have any photos of this particular ship.
In the meantime, you can see a builtup with these markings HERE. It may not be the most accurate job, and the images are funkified, but the model is done fairly well and, at the very least, you may draw some inspiration from it.

Alrighty, here’s what I’ve found on the PC so far. There’s a few other places I have to look and I also need to go through the library, but this is a start…
I’m not entirely sure if these images all show the same ship or not, as there are some differences in markings and paintwork.
This is a 109E-3 before application of any mottling or ID markings. Note that Priller’s personal marking under the cockpit is much larger than that shown in the other images…

These next two probably show the same aircraft, Werknummer 5057. I believe that this is the ship reresented in that color profile you posted…

Unfortunately the swastika and any victory markings have been obscured in this image, but this is clearly one of Priller’s mounts. Whether or not it’s the same aircraft as shown in the other photos, I do not know for sure. It does however show signs of interesting non-standard upper surface paintwork…

Hopefully I’ll come across more…
Fade to Black…
Thanks fellas! Blackwolf, the second photo seems right where as, although the same mount, the others seem either before or after the scheme I am looking for, I do like the last one however it looks to me as if the camo has been added over the yellow parts and the wing areas, very unusual to say the least and I may have to get another one of these kits and do that one.
Keep em coming guys as always this forum is the most helpful and friendliest around. Thanks you.
