Re: Bf109 G-10 late war - but very interesting camo !

Also, adding to the posts of Rasmussen and Charles Bavaroise, it is worth to add that there is a single detail that identify this aircraft as a G-14/AS and nothing else.

The small round hatch just below the hole for the starting crank was the access to the cold weather starting device, which was in that position on the DB 605A and AS only.

On the DB 605D the device was moved slightly upwards so that it was level with the starting crank hole. Being able to see where it is allows to determine if the plane was engined with a DB 605D or not.

Of course, on the "Black 4" it clearly is in the lower position...
