Is a 109G4 closer to a G2 or G6?

Found an interesting photo for a skin, its of a 109G4 (at least its marked G4), but would this best fit on a G2 or a G6?

What is the armament of a G4?   If it has the larger mgs in the cowl, it must have the bulges along the side of the nose, in which case it would make sense to me to skin it on the G6.

Closer to G2 I believe, the 13mm cowl guns weren't standard until the G6 came along.

I know quite a few of the Romanian 109 pics I have are of G4s, and none of them have the Builen. I think the major series changes from G2 to G4 were to the engine.

Thanks. I actually saw some G-5s with 13mms which is why I asked. 4 is closer to 5 than to 2 (counting, that is). I wasn't sure :)

If I remember right, G5 is same as G6 but with a pressurized cockpit. Not many were made, G6 is the "standard" while the G5 is the "special production". Could never figure out why the special one has a lower number than the regular one though...
