Re: Rare Bf 109 K-4 photos
Hello Veltro,
I would love to have a foto of another Erla Bf 109 K, but I am sorry that this time I perhaps can't follow you.
The foto is poor and especially the rear fuselage has no details at all. The camo seems to be very bright, not the dull dark grey or green we know from the only other foto of an Erla Kurfuerst. And the underwing Balkenkreuz is not the late war Erla-style with black chevrons only.
But what really makes me think, this is not a K-4 is the engine:
The pipes around the engine and the engine-bearer are not the DB 605 D pattern, but the DB 605 AS!. (O God!! Another Erla G-10 with AS-engine????).
Looks like a Gustav-airframe of unknowable Baureihe to which a DB605 AS engine with the cowlings of the Erla-type were attached.
Greetings from Munich to hopefully sunny Italy
Carl
