Your "based off of" picture is titled "priller", Jarrod.
"Pips" Priller was one of two Lufwaffe Schlagetter pilots to make a successful attack on the Normandy beaches of D-Day, June 6, 1944. This is briefly shown in the movie "The Longest Day", though the aircraft making the strafing run are P51 B's (?) in German markings.

The Bf109 E3 in the image would have been the aircraft (Josef (?) someone please correct me if I'm in error with his given name) Priller flew in 1940 and early 1941.

From that image, almost any aircraft from his then (1940) unit could be painted.
That said his own aircraft of the time is a worthy subject for a model.

Kind and Respectful Regards Jarrod my friend, Uyraell.
