Radub Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The compressed air bottles for charging the MK 108 cannon are included in the kit. Radu Paul in Napier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The kit looks amazing, however I think I would prefer an engine stand like the Great Wall p-40 as I suspect if I get one of these I am going to glue the engine compartment closed and just not use a bunch of the parts in the tail section.

There is an engine stand included in the kit. BTW, every ZM kit includes an engine stand, they always include one as part of the "runner" (sprue) for the engine. Radu firefly7, D.B.

Radub Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 On the G-14 the compressed air bottles for the MK 108 were relocated to the left wing in the space previously occupied by the ammunition for the MG 151. The access hatch for the MG 151 ammunition was used to refill the bottles. There is original Messerschmitt information, which was also published in other books, that supports this. If you think that the U4 compressed air bottles should be elsewhere on the G-14, then you can easily relocated these bottles in that location, no major issue.

Radub Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 You can move the bottles under the tank, if it is so important to you, it will take absolutely no extra time to do, no modification to any part needed. If you choose to close the fuselage, this will not be visible. Radu esarmstrong, Paul in Napier, Rick Griewski and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the earlier kits have the stands? Looking at the He-219 and Ta-152 I am not seeing anything like a stand in the sprues for the engine. Just curious as I would love to display one of the He-219 engines. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul In as far as I know the first model to include a stand was the Horten 229. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the G14/U4 and G10/U4 the MK108 bottles are under the MW50 tank and the breathable oxygen bombs are in the left wing. The Mk108 bottles were filled up via a hatch on the right side of the rear fuselage. The breathable oxygen bombs were refilled via a hatch on the right side of the fuselage right after the cockpit On the G6/U4 the MK108 bottles are under the battery tray in the tail and the breathable oxygen bombs are behind the main fuel tank. The Mk108 bottles were filled up via a hatch on the right side of the rear fuselage. The breathable oxygen bombs were refilled via a hatch on the right side of the fuselage right after the cockpit On the K4 the MK108 bottles are in what used to be the 20mm ammo tray in the left wing and the breathable oxygen bombs are in the right wing. The Mk108 bottles were filled up via what used to be the 20mm loading hatch on the left wing. The breathable oxygen bombs were refilled via a hatch underneath the right wing You can check the internal pictures of the surviving G10/U4 plane in the US before restoration for confirmation. One problem with book printing original MT documentation is that they sometimes get the wrong context. The K4 spare part manual, recovered crashed K4s wings, G14 part manual addendum and recovered crashed G14 wings leave no doubts on where the various bottles were Good info Vince, appreciate you taking the time to pull this together for us.

It's just that given the amount of "details" provided in the kit, having them at the right location in the instructions would be a nice touch Thank you Vince.
