bsarnoffca Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Howdy folks. My next project is a 109F starting with the Hasegawa 109G-4, using the Aries F conversion kit, a Verlinden DB601E engine and lot's of Radu's accessories. I'll post pics soon but right now I'm in dire need of pictures of an "F" firewall. Anyone out there help? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 HI Not a great deal around but I then found a great view in Monogram Close-Up 9 Bf 109F Lower picture is a great view of a US captured machine during disassembly. Upper view from production line with engine in place (obviously!) Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just found this as well. Looks like its very similar if not identical to the earlyG aircraft. You could use pics of the RAF museum's G-2 which are up on the 109 Lair in the walkarounds area, as there are good detail views of engine and bulkhead area. Also two walkarounds of actual 109Fs here. Also don't forget to model the radiator flaps with the boundary layer air discharge Can make out in this picture that the upper radiator flap is actually a long thin outlet. Pic below should clarify. Again, HTH. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Great! Thanks much Matt. It's a help. I suppose I'll need to do a bit of creative modeling as well. What is the "boundary layer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 HI Boundary layer air is the air close to the surface of the wing. I am not sure why the boundary air was taken in this fashion - others may know? Do have a look at the two 109F walk arounds on the 109 Lair (not well indicated above) here's direct links: Bf 109F-4/trop W.Nr. 10132 Bf 109F-4/trop W.Nr.31010 Theer are some very useful engine and firewall pics here.

Allok Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Boundary layer air is the air close to the surface of the wing. I am not sure why the boundary air was taken in this fashion - others may know? Actually, I would have thought interupting underwing Boundary air would affect lift. Doesn't the Hase G-4 already have these radiators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Creosote Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think,in a nut shell,boundary layer air flow "sticks" to the surface of the airframe and disrupts and "clogs" the flow of air. So,Me 109s had a sheet metal channel through the radiators to "break" the boundary which aids in smoothing the flow of air through the radiators and jet aircraft [gas turbine engines] have splitter plates that serve the same purpose,help smooth the flow of air. For a more scientific explanation search The Googles for "boundary layer" and hit Wiki. Now,my brain hurts. I'm going for a cold beer. RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Please, Where are the pictures of the complex camoflage? Inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks guys...getting a bit off topic. I'd post some images of the camouflage scheme but my scanner isn't working. It a complex, 3 color criss cross scheme that JG/54 used in 1941 on 109E's, F1 and F2's. I'll post build pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Here some work so far on the 109F. Interior with Radu seatbelts. This is a wonderful product. Looks more realistic than anything else I've tried and easy to assemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
