question on Tropical aircraft

I am posing this question here because it pertains to the build I want to do here. First of all the P-40 I was working on is no longer here and that leaves me to three unstarted kits to enter. I have a P-40K in 32, Bf 110G in 32 and the He 111 in 48. I know I can make the 111 work fairly well and the P-40 but the lack of decals there keeps me from doing that unless I go with either RAAF 450 squadron or one of the British ones. The 110 G is my biggest quandary because I have looked in all my resources and done see anything I could find in tropical livery for a 110.

I would like some guidance here so9 any good ideas will be greatly appreciated.
 
Tropical Bf110's.... I have a limited number of refs, but they all point to C's, D's and E's being used in the Desert/MTO, as far as I can tell, the G's came later and were mainly used in the retreat from Russia and 'Defence of the Reich'.

I do have an early & rare 1:32 Eagle Strike sheet that has a SAAF P-40K (with orange centres for the roundels) if you decide to build your Kittyhawk - no charge.

II/ZG.1 "Wespen" were transferred from the Eastern Front and operated B110G-2's in Italy from April to August 1943. They were painted in the standard Day Fighter scheme of RLM 74/75 over 76. They retained the eastern front yellow cowl and wing tips only over painting the tailband in white. Eduard's 1/72 G-2 has this scheme, I don't know if it is available in 1/32.

I've not seen any G's in a desert sand scheme

Cheers,

Why not go with just a generic scheme on the P40 instead of a specific aircraft? You got the basic markings right?
 
I was thinking that my self and both of them ( P-40 and He 111 ) are looking good to me now but I am really thinking 111.
