The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is one of the best-known Luftwaffe fighters of World War II, with a total production of over 33,000 in a wide variety of versions. In 1943, in response to the massive Allied bomber threat, the order was placed for a high-altitude fighter. The prototype 109 K 4 was made in October 1943. With the K series, all the previous modifications to the G series were united in one aircraft giving an overall improvement to its flying capabilities. For the new DB-605 D with large loader and MG 131 a wider engine cowling without any protuberances was designed. The engine cowling is shown without any protuberances. One MK 108 was used as an engine-mounted cannon. The K 4 also had an aerodynamic fairing in order to improve performance. The plywood equipment panel was redesigned and to save on aluminium, some of the components were made of wood and sheet steel. In production all the machines were equipped with an MW 50. Up to April 1945, about 1700 of the K 4 were produced....
