Bf110 G2 R3

[Mharout]

friends
I would like to save if this second revell version is correct and if there are specifications for saber where it was used in the war

 

[Denniss]

I hope Revell did not call it /R3 because of the rocket pods, it was /R3 because of the two 3cm guns replacing the 4 MGs in the upper nose.

 

[Mharout]

Mas este modelo existiu ?

 

[GrauGeist]

I don't recall a specific rüstsãtze code ever being issued for the BR21 installation.

 

[Denniss]

The /R code in aircraft designtions was used for permanent equipment changes/upgrades, optional/attachable/removable equipment also had an /R number but tht did not change an aircraft designation.
A G-2/R3 did exist, a basic G-2 with the twin 3cm gun upgrade. Both the ventral gun pod and the rocket pod were optional but frequently used

The kit has two options, the one shown and another with the two 30mm in the nose.

Mas minha única dúvida é com relação a cor
E a inscrição da aeronave
GT

 

[Mharout]

But my only question is regarding the color
And an inscription of the aircraft
GT

Probably standard 74/75/76. Karl built this model here and there are some reference photos. 1/48 Bf 110 G-2 - Allied Advance and Defense of the Reich WWII.

 

[Mharout]

thank you very much my old
was that reference
why rm a group of people one person said that this model does not exist
how revell could miss rm in the assembly manual

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, Revell have been known to produce some fictional schemes. I don't know if the scheme shown is real or not.

 

[Mharout]

I don't think that would be the case
end of assembly scheme and cited as data and year of use

i finished mine with black spinners and white spirals, and used solid black swastikas.

The pics seem to show full national markings when they put staffel colours on the spinners.

I figured they might of added the spirals when they changed to toned down national markings.

Just my thoughts with no factual reference

As I mentioned, there wasn't a production rüstsãtze for the BR21, it was a field addition.
G-2/R1 - armed with BK3.7
G-2/R2 - equipped with GM-1
G-2/R3 - armed with (2) MK108
G-2/R4 - combination of /R2 and /R3
G-2/R5 - armed with (1) BK3.7 and (2) MK108

 

[Denniss]

/R4 should be the combination of R1+3, R2+3 was impossbile as the GM-1 installation was to be mounted into the nose (probably for recons)
The MG 151 belly gunpod was Rüstsatz M1
Rüstsatz 8 was the MG FF/M Schräge Musik for G-4s
