Erla Bf 109 E WNr.4136. Lif Special N°3.

[ouidjat]

Good morning Gentlemen,

The following picture is an extract of LiF Special N°3 back cover.
It is depicting a Bf 109 E-7, WNr.4136.
(Personally I see no armored plate inside canopy and no pointed nose and Erla production batch range is not helpful since it does include Bf 109 E-4/B and E-7; so why not)

This is not the point.
What I want to know is:
What is that MG installation on wing, with that quite unusual fairing which looks like a BSK fairing???
(Note, I didn’t say it was a BSK installation though the gun tube seems to be “melted” with wing leading edge.)

Regards,
Franck.

PS: By the way Weisse 21 wears the 1.(Einsatz)/ Erg.Gr. JG 26 marking characteristics displayed (for example) in Wevelgem, 1941.
