Hello Yogy
Finns got them in 1944 and used them a short while before gondolas were removed. In books there are pictures, sorry, I don't have scanner. And I recall at least one combat report which explicitely mentioned that the kill was achieved with "gunboat" G-6, in memoirs several stories on use of them, especially against Il-2s.

In his "War diary" Helmut Lipfert mentions that the MK 108 was the real Il-2 killer. It just blew off the armoured panels.
Sorry, Jörg, I have looked through both of Bernd Barbas's JG 52 books, and the best I could come up with was a couple of G-2/R6s with I./JG 52.
All the best,
George
