Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1/B by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 9./JG 27 May, 1941 Gela, Sicily Pilot: Unknown To improve on the performance afforded by the 690 hp Jumo 210 of the earlier Bf 109 versions, the larger, longer 1080 hp Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine was used. As a consequence, the nose, cooling system, and wings had to be redesigned resulting in the classic Bf 109E series. In late 1938, the Bf 109E entered production. It entered general service with the Lufwaffe in the spring of 1939. A total of 1,183 E-1 were built, 110 of them were E-1/B fighter bomber versions. The E-1/B was a small batch of E-1s that became the first operational Bf 109 fighter bomber, or Jagdbomber (usually abbreviated to Jabo). These were fitted with an ETC 500 bomb rack, carrying one 250 kg (550 lb) bomb. There were many small differences between indivual E-1s because the E-1 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard was lightly armed with two 7.92mm MG17s above the engine and two in the wings and had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor,E-4 type squared canopies, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was modified with pilot head armor flate plate plus curved top, a capped nose spinner, and had a rear view mirrow fitted to the top of the front windscreen Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.

Messerschmitt Bf 109T-2 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: JGr. Drontheim, Trondheim-Vaernes, Norway Summer 1941 Pilot: unknown The Bf 109T was based on the E-7 and designed as an aircraft carrier fighter intended to serve on Germany's then under construction carrier, the Graf Zeppelin. The wing span was increased to 36 feet, 4.22 inches, a small spoiler was added to the top of the wings, and added an arrestor hook and catapult fittings. An order for 70 was placed with Fieseler with construction fully underway in April 1941. When construction of the Graf Zeppelin was cancelled, the remaining 63 of 70 T-1s were built as T-2s with the carrier equipment either removed, or inactivated like the wing top spoilers. Some of the T-1s may have been converted to T-2 standard. It was found that the flight performance of the T-2 was closely comparable to the E-4/N. Because of its ability to take off and land in shorter distances, 42 T-2s were assigned to I/JG.77 and 21 T-2s were assigned to Jagdgruppe Drondheim in June 1941, both units being deployed in Norway on landing strips which were both short and subject to frequent, powerful cross-winds. In April and May 1943 a few remaining T-2s were operational with 12 assigned to Jagdstaffel Helgoland (subordinated to JG 11) and 10 were with JG300 as night fighters. a few others were scattered around with training units. With a production run of only 70 units the planes were fairly standardized, but field modifications did exist on some planes. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was equipped with a flat plate plus curved top pilot head armor and had an add-on armored glass windscreen.

Messerschmitt Bf 190K-4 unit: 12./JG27 pilot: unknown The Bf 109 Kurfürst was evolved from the Bf 109G-10. The K series was a response to the fact that the bewildering array of series, models, modification kits and factory conversions for the various Bf 109G versions led to logistic problems, making production and maintenance complicated and costly - something Germany could ill-afford late in the war. As such, the RLM (German Aviation Ministry) ordered Messerschmitt to rationalize production of the Bf 109, consolidating parts, types etc to produce a uniform, standard model with better interchangeability of parts and equipment.The "Kurfürst" version was the last and most powerful series of the Bf 109, with only the Bf 109 K-4 being built in large large numbers. Important features of the "Kurfürst" were the DB 605 DM engine, which was powered by the DB 603's large supercharger. The armament was the MK 108 cannon firing through the propeller hub and a pair of MG 131 machine guns in the upper cowling. The main landing gear had small gear doors covering the retracted wheels fitted in addition to main gear doors, and the tail wheel was also fully retractable with covering doors. Larger wheels measuring 660x190 on 13" rims were used so that the machine could carry the higher flying weight. The retracted larger wheels required rectangular bulges on the wing tops to clear the wheels. The antenna mast was mostly no longer used at the factory to reduce air resistance and make parachuting safer for the pilot. The DF antenna of the FuG 16 ZY on the back of the fuselage was moved further back to fuselage part 3. The radio access cover, which was previously always in fuselage part 5, was moved forward to fuselage part 4 because of modified installations. As with other BF 109 versions, there were were variations between individual planes due to dispersed manufacturing and parts shortages forced by Allied bombing. This aircraft had the small main gear doors removed, a fuselage mounted antenna wire, and a fixed tail wheel gear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pstrany and Captain Kurt developed the models using Paul Rebuffat's Messerschmitt model - with permission - as a starting framework and updated the shape, and added a plethora of details, new parts, and ideas. Pstrany also developed the models for the drop tanks, weapons and racks. Captain Kurt created paints for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, the air files and the aircraft.cfg files. Mav developed the idea for the 2d panel to be offset for the Revi gunsight to match the CFS2 reticle.
