I have no idea if this aircraft had ejection chutes or not, but I wonder if the 'lighter' wing of the 'F' required the chutes ?
It might not have had the capability of 'storing' the spent cases? Just a thought.

That's actually a pretty good assumption Terry, pity we don't have any actual confirmation either way.....

Thanks for the link stuff Wotan had seen it before, the shot depicts 6750 with 93 victories by the look of it.
 
I'm gonna go with the ejection ports, figuring that this wing was not strengthened a whole lot more, to create an additional holding box and access hatch for the spent cartridges...so just need to mark the 'X' and start digging...

I figure that no one has got the bulge and ejection ports right on previous drawings, so going with Vladimir's observations and probability of what may have been from his perspective...sounds like a plan!
 
Only progress this week while I finish the 190 was to flat coat the instrument panel and then add a drop of gloss to each dial....
