That is a sweet 109, but what does the HTC staff recommend to replace the swatsika with?  That is in order to make it historically acceptable into the game.  If you were to put another iron cross back there it may look stupid...

I'd just put a white diamond. The swastika is essentially diamond-shaped. If you "fill in" the black parts that reach inside it, you return to a diamond. And at a distance, and when flying, nobody will notice the difference, is my guess.

Lets see who gets it without cheating.

I thought all G's had the same canopy.


And it can't be a G10 or a later G as it has the two small-caliber 7.xxmm MGs in the cowling. Later G's had the 13mm guns with noticable bulges. And it's not an F because the canopy is the late-style type.

Thus my guess is an early G, which puts it at a G2 for me.

The canopy is the late era canopy, but I had *thought* all G's had the same canopy.

And I don't see any bulges. The bulges were very distinct, large, and round bumps on either side of the nose. All I see is a subtle curve of the nose.

EDIT: Disregarding the quality of the "bumps" (could be a flaw in the model kit or the image), then going by the canopy alone I'd estimate G-14 (late-war, 109K canopy). My initial estimate was based on the nose, but I'm not perfect.

Id guess G-10 or G-14. btw only really the G-6 had the giant bulges on the nose, later models were smoothed out alot.
