Caption lists them as G-6 trop, since they miss the characteristic Beulen, they are either G-2 or G-4 trop (the difference I can rarely spot). |

I think the only reliable distinguishing feature is the type of antenna and that is not visible in the photo. I don't have a Stamkennzeichnnen listing available now, but surely someone can find out what subtype these belong to?
Also note the different spinner markings, interesting indeed! Kjetil Aakra |

As they seem to have the bulges on the wings indicating the larger main wheel dimension, it increases the probability of being the G-4 Trop variant. As late G-2s can also be seen having the larger wheels and consequently the bulged fairing on top of the wing, it is not 100% sure though.
"The final G-2 production batches by Erla and Messerschmitt Regensburg were equipped for use in the Mediterranean Theater as the G-2 trop." However, studying KG+QN under a magnifying glass it seems as if there is a dark spot above the middle of the letter "N", which also is in the area where I believe the antenna should be entering on a G-4. Any more input anyone? Source: "Messerschmitt Bf 109 F, G & K Series", Prien and Rodeike. Both for quote and info above. |
