BUILT
Bf 109G-10, WNr. 152xx6, 11./JG 300, Prague-Kbely, Czechoslovakia, May 1945
The aircraft found in front of the hangar at Prague-
Kbely airport in the end of war comes from the
production series 152xxx produced in Erla factory
in Leipzig. The aircraft from this manufacturing
batch had wings featuring larger bulges on
the upper sides enabling the installation of
the larger wheels i.e., the same type used on
Bf 109G-10 planes manufactured at WNF factory
and it’s Diana branch. The fuselage and wings
were probably spray painted in RLM 81/82 colors
even though some researchers incline towards
a single color camouflage variation sprayed
in RLM 81. The wing lower surfaces were not
painted at all with the exemption of parts coming
from subcontractors which were painted in RLM
76. The engine cowling, coming from a different
airframe, is camouflaged in RLM 74/75/76 colors.
Of the serial number painted on the vertical tail
surface only first three digits (152) and the last
one (6) are legible.
