Again, thanks a lot to everyone!

Yup, the He 100 is a sleek aircraft, and makes a very good racer.
The orange Jägermeister livery is pretty iconic - and easy to realize on a model (which was the main reason why I chose it... ;)).

The respective race cars have been around since the 50ies, and even today many car tuners in Germany create their personal Jägermeister vehicles. But, AFAIK, there's no official sponsoring engagement anymore, after the brand re-positioned itself a couple of years ago, trying to become hip and younger (hence the D-WILD registration, a rather recent play with a game claim - it's not really 60ies style, but still appropriate on the kit).
