My collegue which preparing model of Bf109G10 Werk Nr. 490362 made by ERLA Leipzig need some photos with open cabine and view inside aircraft.
Can you attache some photos or links to view Bf109G10 (only with ERLA Haube) ? Rabeler's Bf109G10 has got ''panzer glass'' behind his head. We need to see some details inside.
Can you write some more about used ''heating'' inside cabin for aircrafts with batch 490xxx ?
''...I donīt know, what it is yet, but I think, it is maybe rest of pressurized cockpit (G-10s were rebuilded from older versions..) or, and according me more probably, with some modification of heating on cockpit area (Bf 109Gs and Ks were a lot of problems with an iceing of cockpit cover)...."'

Another question about enginee used in Bf109G10 (made by Erla)"
"'...From page 158:
"It was obviously intended to carry out the conversions of older airframes in a standard manner. In fact, however, attempts to achieve a standard model G-10 quite obviously failed, because the G-10 appeared in the same plethora of variants as did the G-6 and G-14. An essential component of the modernization was to have been the installation of the DB 605 D engine, which was supposed to enter quantity production in the autumn of 1944. Obviously, however, the engine was not available in sufficient numbers at the beginning of the G-10 program, and many of the first machines from production batches 490000 and 491000 were fitted with the DB 605 AS and were accordingly designated as the G-10/AS" ..."'

How you think which engine could be installed in Gunter Rabeler Bf109G10 Werk Nr 490362 aircraft ? (DB605D or DB605AS ? )
on the technical data plate (see attached photo) from aircraft is visible only:
''....0'' without
AS, .... .
For me the moust probably is DB605D but .... what you think about this information above ?
Look right corner up (vissible only ''0"') - I can add better photo if needed:
