Re: Me 109 blocks 464400- AS?
a couple of hundreds of conversion kits (350 IIRC) were issued early 1944 (march IIRC) so as to modify the /U2 109s. Those were using the heavy insulated GM-1 tank and the kits included conversion of the later to MW-50 use. At the same time the /U2 already in production were modified to a G-14 status even if the designation did not exists at the time. Indeed some G-6/U2 were produced with the light alluminium tank which could only be used with MW-50.
So yes the MW-50 introduction pre-date the introduction of the G-14 designation.
