Martinnfb Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) This may help to clarify some details about Erla production batch http://109lair.hobbyvista.com/articles/g10/g10.htm Edited January 12, 2014 by Martinnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB605 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Looks ok in this picture. At least good enough to me. Anyway the Hasegawa flat spine is missing which is a boon, after all, a hood can be bought and replaced easily... Yep, it looks ok but it does have exactly same wrong shape as G6 kit, and for G10 it's also wrong, early type erla-canopy. I know this is minor issue for most of the people but i'm not probably going to buy it until there will be some aftermarket canopies available. At least no more than one kit Shame really as Erla G10 is my favourite 109... Edited January 13, 2014 by DB605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Also worth noting that the silver object running across the shelf behind the seat should be attached to the canopy. It is in the G-6 kit as well (as a not used part) and represents the canopy demisting unit found on Erla G-10 machines. The flattened ends are upward pointing nozzles to direct warm air onto the canopy... Nice little bit of attention to detail Revell...

MikeMaben Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Matt, it looks to be just something to attach the restraining cable to. Not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGB Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 No it's not the same thing ,and as Matt said it should be attached to the lower part of the head armor. Cheers Boris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Can we get some pics, just to clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGB Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hello Sorry cant post pics but take a look in "Messerschmitt Bf 109 F,G,K" by Prien& Rodeike, page 138 there is a good pic of Weissbergers AC and you can clearly see it.

BGB Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks a lot Kevin! Found an article here on LPS too http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=46590 Cheers Boris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 The defogging ductwork is centrally fastened to the back of the head armor and the duct fits into a hole cut into the 'shelf' of the area behind the pilot's seat. A couple of photos can be found on page 3, Post #44 of the K-4 build in my signature. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So if one chose to build that option, you'd need the rest of the ductwork too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 '. . . you'd need the rest of the ductwork too' The rest of the ductwork is unexposed. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydesign Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) This Walkaround may be of some help, although not sure how "original" this museum aircraft is: http://www.ipms.nl/walkarounds/walkaround-vliegtuigen-props/1804-walkaround-messersch-bf109.html Edited January 17, 2014 by mydesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
