Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-1

Heli, are you shure about trhe oil cooler intake? To me it looks that the K-4 prototype had the same one as the G-5 and not the larger one used for the later versions.

Hi David,

I can answer you your question until today.

In my opinion, the radiator cover of the Bf 109 K-1 is greater than that of the G-5.
The air inlet but the same size.

Here is the picture of the paperback "Messerschmitt Bf 109 K" by "JaPo-publishing".

Comparisons times the height of the K-1 oil cooler with the radiator of the G-6 (D-FMBB).

Tschüss

Hey Heli,
I got around to looking at the JaPo K book and I see that the profile there also has the white panel cover as featureless and plain white so I guess you are in good company

I do agree that the cooler looks bigger.
