A G14 with a ballooned cowling would most likely be a G14/AS, I think.

The G-5 was closest to the G-6, especially in performance and firepower, it was only above 20-something K alt (mentioned above) that it improved this performance.

I say the weapons match a G6, the performance under most alts it will fly in AH is the same as a G6, it was closest to a G-6 in timeline.

Just do it as a G-6. It really is the best fit. G14 is the only other alternative, and that's just for the erla haube.

Ignore the bulged nose for the MG131s, and the rest is basically a G-6.

That seems right. It also adds to my curiosity about whether this could be a G14/AS vs a G5. I've done very little research on 109s, but most of the features identified I seem to remember as being G6 and later.

This couldn't be a G14/AS, as its to early- the G14 didnt get to the front until August, the profile is from April. I think I'm just going to scrap this one, I dont really want to do another G6.
