Is this a BF109?

The tyre looks to be to big and what looks to be a main wheel strut looks a bit big for single engine. Been bugging me for some time this one, what do you think?

Could be from a K-4 with the longer tail wheel strut. JG27 did fly them

Amazing. I have just had confirmation that it is definitely BF109 Tail wheel and Oleo.

Looks like a big F/G model tail wheel. I have one in the collection. They were same size as Me110

That looks like a tail wheel… that’s off something with wings.

It would be helpful if there were a sense of scale in the photo and there are any markings on the tyre.

The tyre shape is reminiscent of a Me 262.
