1190 / 4 (cn 1190) Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 "white 4" operated in September 1940 from Marquise-Est airfield in France with 4./JG 26 "Schlageter". On 30 September 1940 was shot down above Beachy Head by Spitfire from No 92 Squadron RAF. The pilot Unteroffizier Horst Perez managed to belly-land his plane and survived. His plane first was transferred to Farnborough and later it was shown in Canada and the USA. Since the year 2000 the restored plane is displayed, laying on its belly in a belly-landing scene, in Imperial War Museum at Duxford

I think it should receive a complete restoration. Why is the panel in front of the canopy
unpainted?
