Hello Cpt_Farrel,

No, I didn't. Thanks for pointing out. Does this necessarily mean we have other Bf 109 fusleages types here? the ones I can identify (8) are all K-4's...

As far as I can see they're all K-4's - seems like whoever did the stencils obviously worked a lot on G frames earlier

The first photo is a JG 53 machine (black RLV band), and may also have been published the Jochen Prien JG 53 history. Not a Barkhorn machine.
