John Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Anybody out there got pictures/drawings for the 13mm feed chutes and ammo bins for the nose mounted mgs in the 109G-6? I assume the bins go in the empty cavity forward of the firewall. I would also assume the chutes incorporate a compound curve - has anybody included this in their Trumpeter 109 and, if so, what medium/technique did you use to model them?

Jerry Crandall Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi Iain; I have exactly what you are looking for. It's an excellent detailed drawing from the Bf 109 G-6/U 4 manual. Send me an e-mail and I'll send you a scan if you'd like. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Not trying to hi-jack this thread...but... Welcome aboard Jerry! Great to see you here! On the MG131s and Trumpeter: This is one of the sore spots on the Trump kit for me, and there are not many. They went to the trouble casting the wiring harness for the DB in rubber, yet are missing the entire feed chute for the nose MGs. They INCLUDE the cross members on the windscreen frames but leave out the aux fuel line feed? Just seems like either they used an incomplete ship for referance, or made some pretty whacky choices in pre-production. All in all it's a good 1/24 109 kit, possibly the best yet, but it is plagued with injector pin marks all over the interior (including the instrument panel!!!). Good luck Iain! Tell us what you end up doing! Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.valdez Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I believe that MDC makes drop-in resin chutes for the 109. Look into it on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 MDC does not make any 1/24 resin parts...yet. The only 1/24 items they offer right now are their harness sets as reviewed here on LSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanx everybody for your input. I should note that I contacted MDC regarding extras for the 109 kit and they responded indicating their products in 24th scale are limited to seat belts.
