Major Batz's Messerschmitt Bf109K-4 Neubieburg, Germany

[David Brown]

I am referencing Sundin & Bergstrom's Luftwaffe Figher Aircraft in Profile [pp130-131] which gives a color profile of Wilhelm Batz's Bf109K-4. I am planning to build a model of this aircraft; however, I have several questions that I hope can be answered by the members.

1. What is the Werke number of this aircraft;

2. Would the radio equipment used for the Bf109G-14 be the same as the 109K-4?

3. The propeller hub in the color profile seems to be RLM 70 and white. Based on actual photos of 109's of JG 52 during this period, 2/3 of the hub was RLM 70 and 1/3 was white. Would this be the correct interpretation for this aircraft?

Any other references for this aircraft would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
