109k4 Hptm. Franz Wienhusen IV./JG 4 , Germany 1944 (109G10)

[Citabria]

thx guys for help with markings and colors and profiles and etc with these crazy german aircraft.

heres some pics of work in progress still with airmess' weathering and details (still need to make my own). I think I have the colors about how I want them at least.

if i remember right this was the default 109g10 scheme long ago in ah1.

cheers

That plane youre showing us isnt a K-4... no tailwheel dangling... otherwise, THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANOTHER Bf-109!!! You rock citabria. Looks great, I think. (But hey, dont trust me, I dont know jack ****)

[Citabria]

heh i dont know jack about luftwaffe planes either but i am trying to make it look pretty

its a 109g10 skin for the 109k4 its closest relative.

the g10 had a dangling tailwheel i know but the k4 was retractable.

the g10 and k4 have identical performance so this skin is an allowable subsitution for the k4 3d model since the g10 was replaced in game with the k4 when the 109s were remodeled.

No, the K-4 has the dangle-wheel as well. Thats the 1 reson I dont fly that plane.

everything i have read about 109k4 states retractable tailwheel was standard

That may be true, but our in-game model has a dangle-wheel. If you can wait, ill take a screenshot in-game tomorrow.

those are in game shots of the k4 with its retracted tailwheel.

Thats very strange, because MY K-4s always have dangle wheels. If this has changed, or im just wrong, I will be ecstatic as it means I can now fly my plane!!! lol

[Xasthur]

The K4 has a retractable rear wheel.

It also featured full main-gear covers from the factory, though I believe that these were often removed in the field.






Citabria, very nice skin. I look forward to using it.

Thanks for putting in the effort.

Why do ALL of my K-4 pictures have dangle-wheels then?!? Am I getting the factory rejects?!? lol

Probably because the are G14s.

Nice work Cit, looks like a great addition to a plane which needs alot more good and correct skins completed.

Don't you just love the "RLM" colors.  Not nearly as defined and straight forward as the USAAF.

[Citabria]

yeah with usaaf stuff its which faded shade of olive drab will look best and making metal look nice

No, the G-14s tailwheel doesnt dangle, its simply permanently fixed. The K-4 (at least the ones on my monitor) have spring loaded tailwheels, that are like shock absorbers. Oh well. I guess my end is just messed up somehow.

i picked your brain and found a pic of the original G-10
