Thanks Erich. One very last thing: you include "8" in the 2cm gun configurations. I thought that had been definitely ruled out in earlier discussion? Mankau only vaguely says on page 149 that an Me 410 was "modified with six MG 151s" - Do you or does anyone know what documentation this...

Thanks Erich.. So the quoted bit about a seven barrel (only ever seen 6 barrel revolvers myself - is that a typo?) weapon being available is just someone blowing hot air in that meeting on February 4th '44? You mention only single and twin wing rockets, does that mean the triple (per wing) WG21...

Can anyone explain this, from p.139 Mankau 2003: What does this refer to if not the bomb-bay mounted revolver pictured in the first post?

Can anyone say what "S/E" refers to? Single-Engined fighter? Another book gives pretty compelling hints that the 410s that Tratt cie were flying on that day weren't regular 410s. I'm still looking for references for the 8x20mm configuration given by Erich. It sounds like the same kind of...

Does anyone know how common this setting was in operations? Is this what was used as "Sonder Notleistung"? Thanks!

Does anyone know for sure if the Me 410B-2/U4, equipped with 2xMK103 and a BK5, was used operationally? Thanks. [edit] MK 103 + BK 5 is almost certainly one of those bogus reports in modern literature.

Hello, I'm curious if anyone has details on the type of material used on the Me410's cockpit, for the two lower transparent sections. What the material was, and what its thickness was. Thanks!

Found one..

Hello, I'm looking for some resource that lists the tracer colors of each gun used by WWII warbirds. Does anyone know any? I've already looked at about a dozen pages of search results here and found nothing. Thanks.

Thank you. Wurger, wouldn't the rain shine on only the parts where it could acumulate, namely the flat part of the intake's top surface? Why wouldn't all the other flat and nearly horizontal surfaces of the plane shine the same way?

On the series of pictures of WN 150 003 where it is standing for pictures after its completion, with a 300L drop tank attached, why do the two sides of the fuselage appear to be painted differently? The left side looks like it has a pretty straight and even line between #76 and the top color...

Yes I guessed it was some proportion of 23 and 04, and thankfuly Mr. Crandall himself gave me the proportions. :)

Do you mean that orange-red Ta152 had two tones of orange color? As I understood it, it was painted in one homogeneous hue. Thank you for the swatches, they are what I was looking for. :)

Hello, I'd like to know the RLM color code(s) that was used in the paint for the orange-red Ta152H as seen in J.Crandall's Dora book (page 155), and if it isn't an official RLM number, any hint for me to find as accurate a digital (CMYK/RGB/etc) color value as possible. Thanks in advance, m.

Is that a typo for "much more, later"? :)
