Not true...

From a Finnish article:

The first of the G-6s (delivered in 1944) were new, then later deliveries were rebuilds. The Germans did not make any distinction between new and rebuilt planes, the rebuilds were upgraded . The used planes were however found to be more awkward in use.

Which is my point exactly...

Upgraded = Wood Tails, Erla Haube, etc.


It was already written above that the birds with the wood tails (upgrades) were not well liked. The quote from the Finnish article collaborates that.

You are correct about 167271...I was not looking at a good photo.
