Was I even close?

If so, the underside of the wings should be painted red and white stripes.
I concur. I also think it's the second option in Dragon's 1/48 D-9 that's depicted here. The first being the aircraft of Gerhard Barkhorn...Germany's second highest scoring pilot of the war. Christl 5.
You can just see the red underside visible near the cowling.
