nice start - keep up the good work

Now with Hungarian marking is it close to "reality"...but why is there german Balkenkreuz on fuselage/vertical tail?

[Hotte]

A mix of German and Hungarian national emblem was not a rarity in the Air Force Hungary.
There are also pictures of Ju 87, Ju 88 and late Bf 109 G / K with German and Hungarian national markings

Probably the same reason British vehicles often had 5-pointed white stars painted on them - to reduce the risk of being killed by allies.

OK...I understand,..... but...This  "mixed Axis marking" was solution of War situation by last days of WW II.
I think - you don't have to agree with me - that if Hungary Royal Air Force was user of Lippisch , the War will be not so close to its end and marking will be "standart"....
But that's only my guess ... 

Kit is beautiful...

[Hotte]

Yes that was also due to the war. German aircraft were often only partially painted with Hungarian national emblem. The new emblem was introduced in March 1942. From there it was often this mix.
Some even did the swastika!
