Yes sir, you are correct! It's obviously been too long since I've been in "109 mode"! The inner gear door(s) still intrigue me as I thought (again, probably wrong) they were kind of "K specific). I also just noticed the larger (fatter) main wheels. As for the color.......I guess black could be a possibility but maybe a very dark overall green? Don't know if I've seen pics of any late war 109's in overall black. Again, intriguing to say the least!Rather G-6 or G-8 or G-14. She has the bulges at the fuselage top. Neither G-10 nor K-4 had these fairings. The colour looks like the black than the RLM82.
I agree. But if you look they replied to this post Messerschmitt Bf109 and the answer starts post #2281 -->>Messerschmitt Bf109Please could we agree to post the post # number of the picture when we respond?

Yes, I concur on all accounts. Having a few dope-slap moments here.The inner gear door(s) as you call it and can be seen behind the oil cooler housing, is the accessing hatch to the compartment with the shell-ejector chutes for the 12.7mm fuselage-mounted guns. The hatch of the shape was used for the G-6 and later variants. So not for the K only.
Regarding the camo of the kite ... the black was used by the night fighter units or the training ones. Judging by the tone of the oleos I would say the plane was painted overall.
However I can't see any national and squadron markings. Also, the coat looks quite fresh. Generally the plane is in a very good condition. Therefore I believe the pic date is a scam. IMHO the plane is a kind of an exibition in one of airbases and the image could be taken much later.
G-6
