Bf 110G-2 'Pulk-Zerstörer'....

[Lucky13]

(Extremely foul language) No they don't!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Okay mate, you've got a few days off, plenty time to mask and paint the canopy..........good luck and just think of that lovely lip smacking pot of Guinness waiting at the end............

 

[Airframes]

Whadya mean, at the end?? He'll be having it during !!

 

[Erich]

back on topic now ..............

ah since it has been sometime the G-2 is going to be from what unit ?

 

[Lucky13]

Errmmmmm.....need to go back and check again Erich!

 

[Wayne Little]

Canopy should be done by now.... ...shouldn't it?

 

[Lucky13]

Think that we decided for a ZG26 crate from the Münster raid on 10 October 1943 Erich...

Not happy with the result here. can't see where you're cutting....*easy...easy...easy....eeeek!....too far....d*mmit....* Think that I'll remove it and try the clear film that I have....be able to save it.

Noticed some damaged from molding on the other canopy coming with the G-2. Also, saw that the other rear canopy comes with two opening for rigid mouned MG's, what kinda G-2 had that?

 

[B-17engineer]

Looks great Jan!

 

[Erich]

rigid mounted mg's ?

what you want is a flexible MG 81Z like the Ju 87D variants

 

[Lucky13]

....and that's what I'll be using Erich.

Just curious about this one.....never seen it on a G-2 before.

 

[Erich]

it's is for the the twin 2cm Schrägwaffen on the G-4 Nachtjäger ....... ooooooops, someone screwed up big time if this is for the G-2 variant

 

[Lucky13]

It's alright Erich, just curious as to why it's with the G-2 kit. Got the single mounted MG canopy. Would the code for ZG 26 at this point 3U+?? then, for the October 10th raid?

 

[Erich]

yes small 3U + ??

 

[Lucky13]

....and it was the whole of the ZG 26 that took part on the 10th of October '43, right?

 

[Erich]

Jan :

I believe that the whole of ZG 26 was suppose to be committed but only III./ZG 26 with the G-2 really engaged claiming some 13 B-17's and losing 10 Bf 110G-2's in return, none of the other two gruppen lost any according to ZG 26 records

 

[Lucky13]

Right, thanks Erich! Appreciated! Which other ZG's took part, with G-2's?

 

[Erich]

ZG 1 had them on hand and at least 2 other NJG's with 110G-4's though think they did not score at all, pursued by 8th AF P-47's

 

[Lucky13]

Much obliged young man! III./ZG 26 it is then.....7th, 8th or 9th Staffeln.

Maybe with a ZG 76 (G-2's as well?) from 11th January '44 to follow. What city or factory etc., was the target on that day?

 

[Erich]

young man ? I wish...............

11 January 44 was a chaotic mission for both sides, an operation of death, am going to have to pull out some data and not go from memory. code is small M8 + ?? . yellow wide fuselage band

ZG 26 band is narrow white band, II./ZG 1's is a wide white band

 

[Lucky13]

Thank you ever so much Erich!
