109E & 109F?

Bf 109E
The Bf 109F had a cantilever horizontal stabilizer.

You're all wrong. It's a 'broken' plane!

First one indeed looks like BF109E, but the other one is F model, just look at the shape of it's nose. Spinner cone looks like has an opening for engine mounted cannon, which started to appear on BF109s with F model. Yellow band on the fuselage points that it was an aircraft from Eastern front and I think by that time many JGs converted to early F models. Retractable tail wheel is also a feature of F models. Another thing, plane is missing under fuselage aerial mast, which was more often seen on the later G models.
Also I might be wrong, but spinner cone is of darker color the the plane's camo, which might suggest it was green and thus belong to JG52. Can't say more at the moment, but I'll look into this.

Your are correct. The Bf 109F can be distinguised by the combination of retracting tail wheel and the lack of breech bulges, indicating that it is was armed with 7.92 mm MG 17 cowl guns.

Bf 109E,It is (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
the lower one is the "f",I am going to use it as my signature from now on I intend to do some work on the pick put my squad name and stuff on it. I have fallen in love with the "f" in the game recently spending much of my ftr time in it now days (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I was wondering if somebody would notice the 109 connection (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif), I was all set to do it again but somebody posted 110 before me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)...
