Re: Official difference between the G-10 and K-4 windscreen??
I think the problem lies with misunderstanding what the conversion is. It is now commonly assumed that Me 109G-10 was based on stocks ammased during production of earlier G subvariants. Thus various unused assemblies like fuselages, wings, tails, canopies were put together depending on their availability. This explains so many combinations of parts visible on new built aircraft. Also, some parts must have been modified, those including fuselages. Nonetheless I would hardly call a new built G-6 fuselage converted on assembly line to G-10 status, an old, worn part.
Apart of this discussion, I would like to note that the windscreen in question is a unique piece of history in itself and should not be converted as it will be a falsification. Carefully repaired with as much original bits as possible it would be undistinguishable for most of the viewers.
