Hello,

I hope to be in the right place for this question...
I'm wondering if the circuit of the additional fuel tank on the Bf 109E-7 goes through the right side of the cockpit (as F, G, models) ?
TIA
Stéph
 
Hi Steph !
I'm back on this forum.
The only 1/32 scale model I have built is a 109 E7 from Eduard (10 years ago). In the cockpit, the gasoline tube does not appear on the right side (which is generally yellow).

Hello Pascal,
I did it the same thing, I looked at the Eduard model kits and instructions and I didn't see any fuel line in the cockpit. But I read somewhere in my docs that this fuel circuit was in use for all Bf 109s with additional drop tanks... It's the thing that made me ask myself the question: "why we don't see this fuel line in the Bf 109E-7 model kits ?"


Hello Wojtek,
Good find, I didn't think to search on the Wiki...
Thanks and this confirm what I had read somewhere in my docs
 
Those are not E models. This pic is from an E manual found on this site. The bomb panel might indicate an E-7 or retrofitted earlier model. I don't think I see any fuel lines there.

Hi Guys!

Sorry I'm new in this forum, but this time I'm working on an Eduard 1/48 scale Emil. I did some investigation about E4/7 models. There was the fuel line on the right side of the cockpit on the E7 model. This models can equip external fuel tank.

This is the graphic of the bf-109 E7 cockpit in the IL-2 Sturmovik WWII flight simulator. I think it's not absolutely accurate, but it can be a starting point too.


This fuel line on the right side appears in Galland's Bf-109 E4/7 cockpit, under the canopy.
