DR2 1% Bf-109K-4 DB605DCM Karl (C3 with MW50, 30mm MK 108) W.Nr 330209 3-17, 3a Sq, 1 Gruppo Asso di Bastoni, ANR, Malpensa, Italy, April 1945
By the time the K-4 became operational, the Luftwaffe had pulled out of Italy completely, leaving the air defence of the north to the ANR alone. 19 Bf109K-4 aircraft, including this one, were however delivered to the ANR. This represents W.Nr 330209 which appears not to have served with the Luftwaffe, as the absence of individual number forward of the fuselage cross suggests.
You may be a bit surprised by the rather bright green camouflage paint. This is purely artistic licence, as nothing in the photo allows one to make the slightest concrete assumption about the actual colours used. This is RLM 83 Lichtgruen, one of two shades of green (the other being the more common RLM 82 Dunkelgruen) authorised for use in combination with RLM 81 Braunviolett, as here.
Contains an Easter egg...
Intended for MAW.
