As far WE know there was NO K-4 equiped with Mk108 - only a WING mock-up - neither G-10s.

Sure you don't mean the MK103?

Franck, have to agree with Kutscha... centerline MK 108 was the standard mount for the K-4.

Surely you meant something else.

Indeed Ferdinando!

I missed the word "centerline".
Sorry Heuser. I remove the post above. Nothing to do here.

Regards, Franck.

Hello Heuser,

Bf109 from Werknummernblock 130.xxx were of the Baureihe Bf109 G-10, so all of them had a 2cm MG 151 mounted. The same is for G-10/R6 and G-10/R2. Only Baureihe Bf 109 G-10/U4 had the central MK 108.

Hello Heuser

It is my understanding that only Bf 109 G-10/U4 fighters made by WNF had the MK 108. The same factory was the sole manufacturer of the similarly-armed Bf 109 G-6/U4 and G-14/U4. The Bf 109 K-4 had the 30-mm cannon as standard as you mentioned. I hope this helps.

Horrido!

Hello everyone,

I like this discussion of the centerline engine weapons installed in Messerschmitt-built Bf109G-10s from the WNr. 130XXX series.

I have fifty-two of these aircraft in my database file. Interestingly, only one entry mentions the engine weapon installed, that being: Bf109G-10 WNr. 130297, 5+ yellow, flown by Fw. Horst Petzschler to Bultofa, Sweden on 04 May 1945, which was fitted with the to-be-expected MG151(20mm) weapon.

Also, as mentioned before, none of the aircraft in my files were documented in any of the Allied Crashed Enemy Aircraft (CEA) or similar reports.

Dear all,

thank you very much for your replies!

I know about the Mk 108 in the G-10 produced by WNF - but I wondered if MTT possibly adopted this gun for their G-10s, as the K-4 with the same weapon was already in production in the MTT-factories.

I never came across a regarding document, this was the reason for my question...

Regards,

Heuser
