Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

There is one with similar pattern but without any insignia but national. This could suggest that toned down was even made in the same assembly plant? Thanks for WNr

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

One question- is it possible that only last three digit was painted? They are a bit high and maybe not space for full number. Sorry, image is small and compressed so not much info could be seen.

Quite simply, no. The rest of the number is there, notwithstanding the bad quality of the photo. As I have shown you privately, there is quite enough space for the full Werke Nummer, especially the slimmer ones applied by Erla...

This looks much more like a late Bf 109G-6 from MTT Regensburg, IMHO.

BTW, speaking of the Erla G-14 we have discussed so far, looking more closely at it, I'm more and more convinced its W.Nr. is 464 609...

No date or place are known. the source of this foto was the internet, but I finally tracked it to SAM Modellers Datafile 10 - Messerschmitt Bf 109 pt2. F to K variants. Page 69. no source givin there either. But, its a book that I now own. Some very nice colour fotos some of which I never seen before.

Thanks Oberst for the reference; yes, true, Lynn Rittger did a very interesting job, with quite a lot of original material.

Cheers
