The problem I see is the decal company cant even tell if it is a G6 or a G14?

http://www.risingdecals.com/Bf-109/72-012_Swiss.htm

Seems they have one of each. I'm inclined to believe the plane in the photo is a G-6.

Since it's Swiss, it cannot be used in the online game, but If I get enough requests I'll do this one for anyone that wants it for offline.

looks to be a g6 to me... But why does Swiss have anything to do with it getting in? Because it was nutrual country?

Exactly.

Skins are only approved for units that saw combat with that airframe, and also these 109s are captured from Germany not purchased.

Swiss airforce had a number of kills during the war, same but to  much less extent did the  Swedish airforce .

I say skin it! 

They flew during WW2 in squadron strength.   Plenty of us like to fly the German rides without iron cross skins on them as a matter of preference.

Whoever stuck roundels or crosses on beautiful aircraft was a S%^^&

If you can get a copy of the book I listed, you will probably answer all of your questions about the skin.

A petition for an exemption is one I would sign.

Afaik Swiss airforce bought 50 Bf109E-1s and 30 Bf109E-3s. and not until 1943 did they fly captured 109's.

Same would go for Gloster Gladiator  1/3rd of Swedish air-force flew in  squadron strength against the Russians in the winter war with Finnish markings.

Switzerland is neutral in WW2. I doubt that any Swiss skins will ever be allowed for this game.

Judging by the fact it is swiss, I would say never saw combat? Switzerland being neutral. I may be wrong though.

The Swiss saw some limited combat during the war, at the onset they gave the Luftwaffe a rather nasty bloody nose when Goering decided to let the Luftwaffe fly threw Swiss airspace.
