Me 109G-14 and FW 190S in Köthen, Germany 1945

[Kuba Plewka]

Yes, it looks the same. The WNF-built G-10 airframe matches, the broken pitot tube you have mentioned but also a rubbish below the aircraft.
When you look carefully at it's belly you will see the camera window fairing.

Hi Kuba and Falcon,

Any chance to have a scan of the other G-10 photo from Monogram Close-Up?

Thanks in advance

Marc

Marc,
A poor scan but I hope it will help.

Dear Batura,
Thanks so much, you made my day!

Harold, Falcon, Kuba,
Similarities of rubbish against the left wheel and broken antenna are indeed a good pointer for the same plane.

Thanks for the lead

Marc

thanks for all.
looking this pic, I think it is a rare Kalkert 430

Could you confirm this?

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Tahiti,

I was baffled by this Type name. Got my Google working and accessed to this photo of an intact Gotha und Kalkert 430, from this site:

First time I hear of the type, thanks!

Hello,

Please, nothing about the emblem of the FW-190 S-8 ?

Best regards,

Lumabe.

Hello Lumabe,

Sorry, nothing else on my side... Did you check Rodeike's book?

Cheers

Marc
