A Bf109G 8./JG 5 Schwarze 14 on eBay

Hi Gents,

http://www.ebay.de/itm/2-WK-FOTO-Me-...-/261004328643
A G-2? or a G-2/R3 as captionned by our friend Falcon? Are you sure?
Fortunately, Falcon made an enlargement on his site:

Ventral tank is not under centerline but well under wing, isn't it? A G-4/R3 then.

Comments are welcome, of course.

Cheers, Franck.

Black insignia on rear fuselage, what that could be? It have some pale over it

Thank you for fast reply I know about Gruppe markings but white detail was a bit strange. By the way- version G-4/R3 is for photo reconnaissance and lack any armament, on image you post link I see gun openings on top of cowling. So- only armament removed, panels and cowling left the same?

I do not think it is a G-2/R-3 model, but a normal G-2 or G-4 from 8./JG 5
