Re: A Me 109 G-10 to identify...

Not all G-10s had large wing fairings (most of those produced by Erla had not, for instance) so that is not a key for an ID (I've seen even plain G-14s with large wing fairings...).

I do agree instead that the key item identifying the plane as a G-14/AS is the round oil access hatch in low position on the nose (meaning the presence of the standard "horseshoe" 45lt oil tank), mixed with the "chin-bulged" lower cowl, a trade-mark of MTT's G-14/AS production.
