I fly the K-4 quite a bit and I think this is one sexy plane.  It's what I'd use from now on.  Someone please? :pray

Even if we couldn't get it officially into the game due to lack of info, I'd gladly add it to any future ETO AvA terrains I do.

That is beautiful! But if you want a yellow nose K4 in the meantime look at Kazan's Jg53 skin.  :salute

Looking still.
Only thing I can find that looks like this is G-14's from this squadron so far.

Captured by the Americans South East of Munich. It received American roundels, was flown to Salzburg and ended up as scrap.

If no one has claimed it yet, I will start working on it next week. My scheduled is full this week or I would start sooner.

It does say JG52 on it. . .So very tempting.   :uhoh

Messerschmitt Bf 109K in the colors of yellow 5, an aircraft of 2./JG 52, which was captured by the Americans in Ainring in Southern Germany (http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/15856-europe-flight-replicas-bf-109k-jg52-yellow-5/)

---------------------------------

"Yellow 5" was captured in May 1945 at Ainring Airfield in South Germany. Later the plane got U.S. markings and was transfered to Salzburg-Maxglan. There the plane ended on a scrapyard.
The plane was camouflaged in RLM 75/83/76. The spinner was overall black or maybe RLM 70. The plane had typical Luftflotte 4 markings as the yellow band around the engine cowling and the yellow rudder. Interesting is the fact that the "Yellow 5" was just painted on the port side of the fuselage. Below the horizontal tail "mdj 24.4.45" was painted on with white paint. This was the manufacture code for FMW Flugzeug- und Metallbauwerke Wels, were the plane was repaired.

Sweet & thank you.  I was just worried since I couldn't find a photo to go with the profile.  Looks like there's plenty of info that proves it existed though.  I look forward to seeing it. :salute
