I seem to remember someone (Motherland?) having a Hartmann Gustav in the works.

Yep, it's that one too.
Except I'm skinning it as a G14 as that's what my photographic source claims it to be.
It's got an Erla Haube canopy (contrary to the profile posted) but a short rudder so I'm not 100% sure.

'The Blond Knight of Germany' says it's Bf109G14 Werk Nummer 166221.




As you can see it clearly has an Erla Haube canopy and looking at it again I can't really tell what type of rudder it has for sure, though it looks like the short type. I think the only really defining feature of the G14 was an MW50 boost system but I don't think you can tell whether this aircraft has one from those pictures.

The profile says G-6 from summer of 1942. Was the G-6 even in production at that time? Lots of suspect information there.

The G6 was introduced in early 1943.
