True -- they were remanufactured air frames, but improved. The G-10 was an attempt at restoring the 109 series as a dogfighter. It was the fastest of the G series machines, and was a much better dogfighter than the heavier, poor handling K models. With near the speed of the K, and near the firepower of the G6, and better handling than both -- what is not to like?
Bear in mind -- this is just my opinion -- as I don't believe any one plane can be declared the best model or series of the war. I'm just saying that if I had a choice of going up against the allied planes in 1944-45 in a 109 -- the G-10 would be my personal choice.
