Plumbum Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I've seen a few done and have a question on Hartmann's last plane a G-10. I have seen it depicted as an Erla built G-10 with small wing covers for the wheels and large covers. I also have seen it depicted with a short tail wheel and then again with the tall tail wheel. Anyone know which is correct? I know there were various G-10s with some differences which is what the Luftwaffe was trying to avoid, supposedly why they created the K-4 to standardize a basic type. Any information most appreciated.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 First, you need to ask one of the mods to move this to the WW2 section.... as for the G-10 http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2011/09/erich-hartmanns-last-bf-109-g-10.html which shows it's an Erla built plane. small wing bulges and a tall tail wheel were pretty standard on Erla built planes IIRC, but others will know more @FalkeEins is a member here as well.

I have not been able to find anything that says he did, casting about forums it would seem that the general consensus is that his final steed was a G-10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I know ... but couldn't resist the temptation. After all, his career in the Luftwaffe ended with his opposition to the way the Germans handled the Starfighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other companies also have Hartmann K-4 kits or decals, but they are basically using the principle "you can't prove it didn't happen" to make something they think is cool and will sell well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know off topic but may amuse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
