Messerschmitt Bf109G-10/U4 panel

[baturavgan]

very good work. Bf 109 G-5, G6, G-14 and G-10, the only difference to / U4 is the tachometer U4 would have been electrical.

Yes, very good reproduction of a late G-Panel (as usual from your side) Batur!
The difference to "normal" G-5 and G-6 can be seen also in the cut-out of the MW-50 switch and the, more or less, absence of mill-outs on the back.
Well done.

Thanks Harald. I have not been producing panels recently, as you know It was quite nice to make one after all those years and thanks to customer's requests I could make some weathering on it. I will do some nice additions on this G-10 panel this week. Will post photos.

And, thanks for the info on Fl.20269. I used to know these info by heart but looks like I forgot many things. Will catch up.

am not good in english, sorry!
G-12, right front and rear FL 20 269 It was installed.
in G-10 as in K-4 in the emergency DB 605 AS. The installation did not change the type. There was no G-10 \ AS G-10, G-10 / U4, G-10 / R2, G-10 / R6.
only Books are pressed, unfortunately you can not change ...

No worries Harald. You are right about the G-10/AS. I forgot that there was a discussion on this issue especially after Prien&Rodeike. However, I think the name "G-10/U4" was officially used because the original dataplate of WNr. 610937 clearly writes "8-109 G-10/U4" on it. A photo of this plate is shown at page 9 of JaPo's BF109G-10/U4 book. I attach a scan of the plate here.

Mal in deutsch....

Erla hatte eine andere Struckturabdeckung am Rumpf, nur Links. Dieses wurde als Hinweiß zur AS genommen. Ist aber falsch. Dokumente der Erla Werke zeigen den Einbau des DB 605 D Motor in den Jahren 1944/45 .

Das Typenschild der USA Beute. Hier steht in der falschen Reihe C3/BO/RAI. Dies sind Hersteller und Abnahme Zeichen, die unter Hersteller hätten stehen sollen.

G-10/R2 Aufklärer gebaut bei WNF
G-10/R6 Jägerkurssteuerung gebaut nur bei Erla

Noch einmal, es gibt keine G-10/AS!

I have done some more progress on the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10/U4 panel. Static and total pressure lines that are connected to airspeed indicator and altimeter were added and painted in RLM24. Will do some weathering on the tubes but not much. Last photo shows the original panel of WNr. 610937 which was a WNF-built Bf 109G-10/U4.

Info lettering in front ...

Thanks. What is the source of this info about the lettering? The WNF built WNr 611943 had the letter in red.

[baturavgan]

Moreover WNr 610937 which was another WNF built G-10 had red lettering.

This G-10 war waged in the Yugoslav Army.
So no original construction condition!

WNr 610937 was in Yugoslavia AF (though I do not think they changed these codes), however the WNr 611943 was from JG52.

By the way, I have found a photo of G-10 WNr 611984's dataplate and also a Messerschmitt factory blueprint, both of which had the G-10/U4 written on them. So, it looks like the official wartime German abbreviation for G-10/U4, as well as G-10/R2 and G-10/R6 existed.

the plane was in service with the yugoslavian after the war. Components were then changed here. otherwise everything is ok .... All museum machines are not in their original condition!
