Steve,
I'll cry, but I will have rekitted it long before it wrinkles.
One more question if you don't mind.
What type paint do you use to match the paint on the wing when you recover it, assuming that you also plan to recover the tail flight surfaces?
I have always used Hobbypoxy, but my stash of yellow,black,white,blue and flat catalist is rapidly depleting. I also lost the sheet where they tell you what to mix to obtain the German RLM color. Any ideas?? Also I found several referances that you might find helpful. I obtained a copy of the book about Hahn, ""Hans "Assi" Hahn,"The Man and His Machines"".The plane that he flew that comes the closest to the kit is plane #5, the coloring is simular but it has a RLM 04 cowl and rudder with 31 victory bars on both sides, plus other changes to numerous to mention. Another referance is the Profile on the 109f that features Hahn's aircraft on the inside of the front cover.
One other source of information is, www.flickr.com/photo/farinihouseoflove/sets, you can go wild with the thousands photo of the 109
