109 G "white 44"
« on: September 12, 2009, 10:20:13 PM »
Not sure which G model this is.  I think they are with II./NJG 11 or NSGr. 10.

There's a G in game now that, if not the same aircraft, is very similar.  G-14 maybe?

It's not as similar as you may think

First of all Black 14 is a G-14 or G-14AS (I think I recall fencer saying that it was the latter), while white 44 looks to be a K4 or perhaps a G-10 (I'd bet on the former though due to the length of the tail wheel)

Second Black 14 looks like its a day fighter done over in a winter whitewash (it belongs to JG3 anyway) as opposed to a night fighter.

Keeping in mind that White 44 is a night fighter, and that the white marking stand out well, it's probably not white as it appears in the profile, rather the pale blue color RLM 65 that was commonly used on night fighters, which looks very white in black and white photographs (and even some color photographs).

the white 44 color is RLM 65 as Motherland posted.

Chin bulges should make that a G-10.  They're a tell tale sign of the 605D.

Bubi, the K-4 wouldn't have a mast behind the canopy.  Also, the rectangular panel is 4 frames back from the cockpit, not 3.

This would be a G-10 from production batch 130000.

Correct, this is indeed a G-10.


Here it is in British markings.
