Re: Very intereseting Bf109G-10 at e-bay

Thanks for your opinion there Ferdinando, seems as if we agree on the replaced undercowling. (I wasn't sure it would fit, but again, why not?)

As for the Erla-built G-14/AS. I thought that they did have the higher fillercap for the oiltank? The pictures of Eberhard Gzik's "Red 2" doesn't show the cap itself but the placement of the stencil seem to indicate the higher placement. EDIT - The picture I have at hand doesn't show the cap in enough detail, I know there's a better pic showing the nose in more detail so maybe someone else can tell?

Also, how many photos of Erlabuilt G-14/AS are there? Apart from Gzik's "Red 2" there's Black 13 flown by Oblt Scheufele of JG4.

Then there's a picture in Priens book on the Bf109 on page 159 that is said to show "White-21" Wrk.Nr 130282. Looking at the camoflage though, I'm quite convinced that it's wrong. The aircraft in that picture is almost certainly built by Erla judging from the paintscheme. As the enginecowling isn't seen it's not possible to say wether it even is a G-14/AS or a regular G-14.
