Messerschmitt Bf109 G-10

Finemolds 1/72.

Messerschmitt Regensburg Production (W.Nr. Block 1300000)

Referred to as the "bastard aircraft of the Erla factory" in the Luftwaffe's Aircraft Variants Book of December 1944, the G-10 was a Bf 109 G airframe combined with the new DB 605 D-2 engine, created to maintain production levels with minimal disruption of the
assembly lines until production of K-series airframes would reach
sufficient levels. Despite what the designation would suggest, it
appeared in service after the G-14 in November 1944, largely replacing
previous G-series aircraft on the production lines of Erla, WNF and
Messerschmitt Regensburg factories. Contrary to popular belief the G-10
were not rebuilt older airframes but new production. Early production
G-10 may have had two data plates (one stamped G-14) as these airframes
were originally intended for G-14 assembly but were diverted to G-10
assembly.
