Team Daedalus Messerschmitt Bf109G-10 set released!

[Team Daedalus]

As we are releasing the Design Team Daedalus Bf109G-10 today some information about the differences among this mark will be helpful for those who aren't all that familiar with it.

The Bf109G-10 was an attempt by the RLM to standardize the Bf109 sub-types using the new DB 605D engine fitted with MW-50 (methanol water 50/50 mix) boost giving an increase to 1775hp.


However this attempt was a massive failure and there is no "standard" Bf 109G-10. The only consistent features were the use of the "Erla Haube" canopy and a version of the DB 605D engine requiring a streamlined cowling to cover the larger engine configuration.


The Erla factory used a completely different engine cowling type with the port side featuring a rectangular fairing behind the engine and an ellipse shape on the starboard side. The WNF and Regensburg plants used an ellipse shape on both sides and had small chin bulges. Regensburg production seems to have been mostly conversions of existing G-6 and G-14 airframes.




Most used larger main wheels which required the larger rectangular shaped upper wing fairings, but some used the smaller wheels with the smaller teardrop shaped upper wing fairings. While all had the tall horizontal tail type, they used different rudder types. See the illustration below. Different types of oil coolers, tail wheel struts, antenna masts, etc. from subcontractors were available at different times during the production runs.



Given the many different features that existed on individual G-10 aircraft, each model we have created has its own unique features.

Enjoy
