Is this a 109F?
 

The caption says the a/c is a 109F but it has an Erla haube.

i would say so. even thou it has the wrong canopy. it does not have the gun bulge. what little i can see of the fuselage. i could be wrong?

The two small air intakes behind the spinner close to the exhaust stack and the yellow fuel triangle behind the cockpit make this a Bf 109 G, and the lack of 'warts' probably a G-2 or G-4

great reply! i got alot to learn for detail.

Re: Is this a 109F?
 

Would the wing bulge possibly make it a G-4?

why not to use G-1 for these tests ?? why they took place in Deurne is the roof higher there ??

Whilst I agree with the posters who highlighted G features, a test airframe could have several non-standard elements. It might have started life as an F, if the original caption was written with knowledge of the Werkenummer.

Its not a Bf 109 F. And I don't think that I was earlier a Bf 109 F.
