Sill a bit odd that all members of the Hart family had distinct type names.
Imagine this for the 109, "ME Gustav-Friedrich" for G6, "ME Gustav-Heinrich" for G8, etc, etc.  ;D

This one would be called "ME Frustav Frankenstein" then.
Two pictures of the same aircraft.
Spot the "issues":





Hint: There are at least two "issues" shown here. One is obvious, the other not that much.

Well the tire is shot and its missing the rest of the wheel cover, the struts look pretty short like they are compressed fully too

That's even two more.
The tires aren't really shot, but let's agree they're not fully inflated.
Wheel covers might have been removed intentionally, that's been a quite common field mod to counter mud/dust/sand issues.

Still two things to go at least.

Hahaha... yes that's been about what I commented.
But that's not the thing I'm referring to either.
Still two to go at least :D

Hint: One thing is so f**king obvious that you can easily overlook it.

Hm... maybe we're talking about the same thing already.

Please specify this a tad more closely:
its missing the rest of the wheel cover

the metal plate on the inner side that looks like half a wheel spat so its flush with the wing when the gear is closed, the hole also looks much bigger then the wheel so im guessing something else is missing, if its an E model its also missing the MG FF ammo drum bulge

Talking about this one?



As I said, sometimes they just removed it so the gear won't get blocked:


But that's not what I was talking about. And no, it's not an Emil (the spinner gives that away).
Still two to go at least.
