Hello,

to me the photo is sensational. I had always been told (and until now believed) that there has never been a K-4 by Erla. There is another photo of a K-4 with an Erla cowling on p. 44 in Poruba's and Mol's JaPo book on Me 109 K camouflage and marking. I had taken that aircraft for what it was but thought it must have been the result of exchanging the cowling in the field, which should have been easy apart from adapting the port fuselage bulge to the Erla cowling. Now this odd theory can be abandoned.
I wonder where Steven Sheflin's other K-4 by Erla can be found.

Regards,
