hmmmmmmm...restoration is okay, but the company who built it is not very "trustworthy" and quite dishonest...too bad. :(

They contract many things out, and also do not know much about the Me109, surprisingly. They tried to sell me an Me109 E windscreen, claiming it was Me109 G. This was 5 years ago, and I had to "educate" them on the difference. They also claimed it as original, when it was clearly reproduction.

They tried to sell late war Me109G/K wing skins to a friend of mine, claiming they are okay for Me109 G2 through G6. Well...they had a LARGE kidney shaped holed for the Me109 K and G-10 wheels...so certainly not okay for the G2 or G6.

The G-14 is basically a complete new-build. I have photos of it during restoration, and I cannot see any original parts. An old email from 2006, shows it appearing to be around 85% finsihed. The email states when finished, the asking price would be 125000,00 euro, fully painted. It also says they were deciding whether or not to build it as a G6 or G14.

...not sure how they got a G-14 werk number for it when no history was known 5 years ago. Seems like a werk number was "created" to increase the price.

This company also contracted a friend of mine to restore the wings (on the G6, I beleive)...my friend never got any credit for it either...

nice...

Interesting, Harrison. If the WNr. is correct it would have been a G-14 by Erla. There is no loss record for it, but that doesn't mean much in 1944/45 as we know. JG 300 did not use many G-14 machines, but lots of G-14/AS machines.

IIRC Schirmacher was lost with W.Nr. 462787 and not 462707 ...
