Cool!!
some good pics....the 8th one down in your selection is a new one to me Chris, looks like Hartmanns G-4/R6 "White 2" KJ+GU W.Nr 14997, got some shots of this one including a model! will add them soon!
Erich Hartmann's Bf 109K-4
Profile #124 in the book Luftwaffe Fighter Aircraft in Profile Vol.1 by Claes Sundin Christer Bergstrom.fake
gotta agree with Max. No K-4 that I have read or found.
found this:
"Note: There are no pictures of Hartmann's last 'Karaya' known. According to his own findings, he flew the K-4 version, as well as further some of his subordinates in this group. Therefore, one can conclude that Hartmann could have flown his last mission in a few hours before the ceasefire really a Bf 109K-4. Therefore we have chosen for this aircraft.."
not sure if it makes any difference.
His last known aircraft was a G-10. This K nonsense started years back with a composite profile by Karl Ries in,I think,the old "Luftwaffe camouflage and markings" series.
its not really non-sense. theres a well known Bf 109K-4 'Tulip nose' that flew with JG 52 (well flew with JG 50 but ended its service with JG 52). I think thats where the confusion started. also the pic with Hartmann in front of his G-10 (last pic in post #1) after his 350th aerial victory is a Erla-Leipzig built G-10 in the 490 XXX-492 XXX batch.This K nonsense started years back with a composite profile by Karl Ries in,I think,the old "Luftwaffe camouflage and markings" series.

I like the profiles with the full 365 kills painted on the tail....
Yep. Three of them at the very least. III./JG 52 also used a few K-4's.Ratsel Stab JG 52 had K-4s.
Cheers
