Looks like you've got your ducks lined up nicely John, will the FuG 202 be by Master?

[Pastor John]

yes G canopy rear, yes MG 81Z as listed, yes S M as mentioned in earlier post. Not sure about Master doing FuG 202 - have to check

The new Revell He 219A-0 is equipped with the FuG 202, so it would make sense for them to make a set.

This is cool,

 

I want to build the Romanian F nightfighter and a G4

 

They way I'm reading this, I can tell PJ what I'm building, and he'll send me the set I need?

[Bill Cross]

Thanks, John, we will sort it out at the right time. Price isn't my worry, "pain in the ass" is. I prefer to have as many of the things I need in the conversion and not have to sort things out later on. I sounds like you have things underway, and I'll wait for the announcement this is done.

Hope you do not mind all the updates - I do this with every conversion as it is my modelling rather than a business - as long as it pays for its self I am happy haha. Gun Pod printed - cost a fortune but its fantastic. I worked today on all the ammo and Fug boxes in the cockpit and these have been sent off to get 3D designed. Just straight exhausts and radar mounts left to look at but first I look at the rear canopy as need to prioritise now those things that take the longest time to become a part ready to sell. Its all been fun and very easy - not a complicated conversion at all. BTW I can confirm as of a few minutes ago this conversion will include the fantastic Henri Dähne spinner and prop set rather than my own more basic examples of these items. I know it put the price up a little but I had to provide the parts anyway so want some quality in my set!

Keep it coming John, love to see these updates and it makes the whole project "real"!  Personally I'm so pleased to see that you're also doing the Eberspacher flame dampers....I'm one very happy bunny!!

For any of you interested my 3D design and printing is being done by SBS here in Hungary. I can highly recommend them. The price is good as these things go and the communication along the way is excellent

[Kagemusha]

It's always great to see your updates, very interesting these latest ones are - so says my inner Yoda!!!

[Out2gtcha]

Great updates John! I'm loving this more and more.

Loving the G4, yet not knowing nearly as much as you or others about the different G versions, (and may be a stupid question too) but which version (s) do the gun pod apply to?

[mozart]

 which version (s) do the gun pod apply to?

 

My understanding, and according to John Vasco's "The Messerschmitt Bf110 in Color Profile 1939-1945" it's the G2 Brian.  Others may know different?!

So heres a follow up........I cant really tell from the profiles since I dont necessarily know the full extent of the differences between the G2, and G4, but does the G2 have the hog nose, and larger dipole  Fug radar?

[mozart]

The G2 was intended as a ground attack and aerial interceptor, attacking typically the USAAF bomber streams during daylight operations.  As such it didn't carry radar arrays nor did it have your favoured "hog nose", rather the smooth E type nose......stated with the usual caveat!
