Hmm Rémi,

C'est Marc qui va être content.
Thanks very much for these pictures Rémi; You got the point today. Any idea of unit and place?

Regards, Franck.

Rémi,

Champagne! Beautiful discovery and at long last again some new Bf 109 K-4 imagery! Where did you find them? Any location on the pics?

Many thanks for sharing
Marc

Franck: Merci pour l'info;-))

Yes, many thanks Remi! never saw them.
the werknummer is applied with the help of stencils as seen on all Bodenwöhr K4's so far.
The scenery with the buildings timber frame construction reminds me somehow of franconia. Like those K4 found near Fürth airfield. That kind of architecture is very common in this area.

Thanks again!
Matthias

Hallo Matthias,

Thanks for your input; this brings us back towards the Fürth junkpile showing discarded K-4 fuselages...

By the way, could you keep building on your modelling spree of Bodenwöhr machines?

Cheers
Marc

Hi Marc,

I only finished the base. Since I'm not really an ardent modeller I've no further bricolage projected. :)
I'm hunting for pictures showing finshed fuselages waiting at Bodenwöhr station for their shipment to Cham airfield. Reportetly they where displayed at a regional history exhibit in Bodenwöhr some years ago. But I just started the hunt.

Glad to see the pics Matthias! Lot of atmosphere with the dead leaves... Thanks for sharing them. Crossing my fingers for your next picture hunt!

Cheers
Marc

Hi there Gang!

Kees Mol very kindly sent me two more Bf 109 K-4 pictures most probably taken at Cham-Michelsdorf; they are from the same serie as the one found by Franck on Ebay, pointed out by Christian. Talk about a lucky strike!

As both are depicting the typical Cham-BodenWöhr camouflage pattern (e.g. snake pattern, I post them in this appropriate thread:

http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/a...28253676_o.jpg

This pic shows the same two machines as the one on e-bay. The full W.Nr. remains obscured by the hanging cammo filet also from this angle. The first three digits are plain to see 335...

http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/a...28254143_o.jpg

This one shows another K-4; as the rudder is gone, no W.Nr... unless those shadowy streaks on the rear fuselage are not cast by the same cammo filets, but the sprayed repetition of the last three digits in the usual Mtt Regensburg style. In this case, the last digit would be a 3...

Any more inputs?


Cheers
Marc
