Eberhardt Gzik´s machine

Greetings!

Yes, I have also heard that there was no reason for installing the "bulged" undercowling in the G-14/AS exept their availability in numbers.

Presumably, the ground crew sometimes replaced the cowling, if they had "old ones" in store.

By the way, the G-10/AS did in fact exist, if one by this means a G-10 with a DB605AS engine, these being a stop-gap pending delivery of DB605D, presumably.

They were built in small numbers, and were never known as anything but G-10s, the designation G-10/AS being a modern invention.

Talking about improvisations, the most improvised 109 I have seen yet, must be the hybrid K-4/G-14 flown by JG 53 being a K-4 re-engined with a DB605A plus propeller, and having the right-hand enginecowling of a G-14 and the left one from a K-4, you work with what you got : )

Best wishes!

You'd probably be interested to have a look at this other thread in this forum... http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...t=13144&page=5
