If this aeroplane that I put up is a real K4 it's huge news for anyone who likes 109s because they were the last and the fastest. Faster than P-51s

roger, im a 109 lover, but the K4 never impressed me. For starters it was bad ingmae (1946), second its uglier (in my opinion), than its older brothers. i think the 109 had its pick in beauty in the F series, the early G's are ok the late G's start too look ugly with the bulge in the engine cooling for the HMG and that hood redisign ---- All matters of opinion off course. Glad too see another 109 airbourne tough.

cheers!
