Messerschmitt Bf109F-2 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 9./JG2 France May, 1942 Pilot: Oblt Siegfried Schnell There is no "standard" Bf 109F-2, as the production run underwent many small modifications and there were field implemented updates along the way. So each model we have created has it's own unique features. Pstrany 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 SCASM edited each model so that they have animated wing slats, drop tanks, and other features, as well as optimizing models for the best possible framerates. Mav also developed the idea for the 2d panel to be offset for the Revi gunsight to match the CFS2 reticle. The engine sound package is by Lawdog2360

Messerschmitt Bf109G-10 Erla built by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 16./JG301 Erfurt Nord, Germany May 1945 Pilot: Unknown 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 G6 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. Different types of oil coolers, tail wheel struts, antenna masts, etc. from subcontractors were available at different times during the production runs. Armament was different too. Most WNF built G-10s were the G-10/U4 subtype using a 30mm cannon in the nose rather than the 20mm used in the Erla and Regensburg built models. Given the many different features that existed on individual G-10 aircraft, each model we have created has its own unique features. Pstrany began the development of 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 .dp files, the air files and the aircraft.cfg files.

Messerschmitt Bf109G-2/Trop by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 8./JG27 Rhodes, Greece February 1943 Pilot: Oblt. Werner Schroer During the summer of 1941, the Messerschmitt design team was engaged in updating the BF 109F-4 as the dictates of the air war was forcing the need for greater speeds. The result was the Gustav series, of which the first substantial production run was the Bf 109G-2. Adopting the more powerful but heavier Mercedes Benz DB 605 engine required airframe and landing gear strengthening which also added weight. But it was felt the increase in speed made the loss of some maneuverability acceptable. The fuel filler access was moved to the spine behind the cockpit. No change was required for the cowling shape but a deeper oil cooler was needed. The broad blade of the F4/Z was made standard. The lower quarter cockpit window panel was deleted and vent scoops could be added to the new replacement metal panel. The wheel wells reverted to a squared end in anticipation of wheel covers that in the event were not adopted. Generally speaking the appearance of the G-2 was very similar to the F-4 without close examination. Deliveries of the G-2 began in May 1942 with 1,587 produced by February 1943. The Tropical version had a sand filter for the supercharger, umbrella attachment points under the canopy on the port side, sand proofing rubber seals around hydraulic cylinders (not visible) and survival gear and a Kar98 rifle stowed in the aft fuselage (also not visible). However, there is no "standard" Bf 109G-2. Although production only ran 10 months before the G-3 and G-4 were introduced, three separate companies and multiple sub-assembly production facilities were involved which inevitably produced minor variations, such as pilot head armor type, cockpit vents and tail wheel types. So each model we have created has its own unique features to portray the specific aircraft presented as accurately as possible. Besides the sand filter, this aircraft had the port side umbrella attachment fixtures removed, a cockpit vent both sides, a flat plate pilot armor and a fixed tail wheel with the wheel bay faired over. Pstrany 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.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 8./JG53 October 1940 Pilot: Oblt. Walter Fiel The E-3 was replaced by the E-4 (with many airframes being upgraded to E-4 standards starting at the beginning of the Battle of Britain), which was different in some small details, most notably by using the modified 20 mm MG-FF/M wing cannon and having improved head armor for the pilot. With the MG FF/M, it was possible to fire a new and improved type of explosive shell, called Minengeschoß (or 'mine-shell'), which was made using drawn steel (the same way brass cartridges are made) instead of being cast as was the usual practice. This resulted in a shell with a thin but strong wall, which had a larger cavity in which to pack a much larger explosive charge than was otherwise possible. The new shell required modifications to the MG FF's mechanism due to the different recoil characteristics, hence the MG FF/M designation. The cockpit canopy was also revised to an easier-to-produce, "squared-off" design, which also helped improve the pilot's field of view. This canopy, which was also retrofitted to many E-1s and E-3s, was largely unchanged until the introduction of a welded, heavy-framed canopy on the G series in the autumn of 1942. The E-4 would be the basis for all further Bf 109E developments. Some E-4 and later models received a further improved 1,175 PS (1,159 hp, 864 kW) DB601N high-altitude engine; known as the E-4/N; owing to priority being given to equipping Bf 110s with this engine, one fighter gruppe was converted to this version, starting in July 1940.[21] The E-4 was also available as a fighter-bomber with equipment very similar to the previous E-1/B. It was known as E-4/B (DB 601Aa engine) and E-4/BN (DB 601N engine). A total of 561 of all E-4 versions were built,[13] including 496 E-4s built as such: 250 E-4, 211 E-4/B, 15 E-4/N and 20 E-4/BN. There were many small differences between individual E-4s because the E-4 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor, armored windscreen, tropical sand filters, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was modified with a flat plate plus curved top pilot head armor and a capped nose spinner. Based on its 70/71 camouflage it was likely an E-3 upgraded to an E-4. 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 109E-3 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 8./JG 52 1940/41 Rumania Pilot: unknown To improve the performance of the Bf 109E, the last two real prototypes (V16 and V17) were constructed. These received some structural improvements and more powerful armament. Both were the basis of the Bf 109 E-3 version. The E-3 was armed with the two MG 17s above the engine and one MG FF cannon in each wing. Some units began recieving the E-3 by September 1939. A total of 1,276 E-3 were built, including 83 E-3a export versions. There were many small differences between indivual E-3s because the E-3 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard 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 flat plate and curved top pilot head armor, an armored glass windscreen and rear view mirror. 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 109E-7 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: III./JG5 Petsamo, Finland 1942 Pilot: Hptm. Gunther Scholz Following the E-4, the E-7 was the next major production variant, entering service and seeing combat at the end of August 1940. One of the limitations of the earlier Bf 109Es was their short range of 660 km (410 mi) and limited endurance, as the design was originally conceived as a short-range interceptor. The E-7 rectified this problem as it was the first Bf 109 subtype to be able to carry a drop tank, usually the standardized Luftwaffe 300 L (79 US gal) capacity unit mounted on a centre-line rack under the fuselage, which increased its range to 1,325 km (820 mi). Fuel from the drop tank was pumped to the internal fuel tank via a large fuel line that ran up and along the inside starboard wall of the cockpit, with a clear sight glass located in the fuel line's main span so the pilot could easily see the flow of fuel and know when the tank was empty. Alternatively, a bomb could be fitted and the E-7 could be used as a Jabo fighter-bomber. Previous Emil subtypes were progressively retrofitted with the necessary fittings for carrying a drop tank from October 1940. Early E-7s were fitted with the 1,100 PS DB 601A or 1,175 PS DB 601Aa engine, while late-production ones received 1,175 PS DB 601N engines with improved altitude performance the latter was designated as E-7/N. A total of 438 E-7s of all variants were built. There were many small differences between individual E-7s because the E-7 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor, armored windscreen, tropical sand filters, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features.
