Love this plane

Hi all, just wanted to say - I got the Taifun on the recent SimMarkt sale, it's been on my wishlist for a long time now, especially since I've last seen three 108s at the Hahnweide Oldtimer fly-in last summer. What an airplane, for the era, and you really managed to give her some character (although I have to admit I'm using the soundmod with it).
One little question though: what's with all the D-I*** repaints? In Germany, a single engine prop below 2 tons carries a D-E*** registration, D-I*** is for multi-engine aircraft (2-5.7 tons MTOW). I have no clue whether that registration scheme was introduced after the era that the depicted Messerschmitts were flying in, but I'm wondering... Also, in many repaints the painted registration does not match the plate on the dashboard.
