The 109E-3 was provided to the Spanish government afterthe Spanish Civil war and this is one of those planes. It is in RLM 63 over 65 it has a red spinner.

The third options is a captured E-3/B that was tested by the RAF. Standard RAF green/earth uppers with yellow lower undersides. This aircraft was frequently flown without the canopy hood.
