Wow thanks, that's quite a volume.... um you wouldn't happen to know what page to find the barrel diameter? lol
I just scaled the drawing and came up with 35mm.... which is 0.49mm @ 1/72 scale. The needle on hand is 25 gauge which is 0.51mm..... so close enough for me!! woo hoo!
Yes but some of that will be inside the wing... the length protruding I scaled approx 11.5mm. 12.5mm looks better.The diameter sounds correct.
The barrel lenght of the Mg 151/20 was 1,104 m
Luftwaffe Resource Center - Armamants - A Warbirds Resource Group Site
The Luftwaffe Resource Center's goal is to provide technical and historical information so that people can better understand the aerial conflict in World War II.www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org
So ... 1,104m / 72 = 0,0153333m
0,0153333m x 100 =1,53333 cm
what is
15mm
They're close, yours is a tiny bit longer. (That's what she said) So when I said 11.5mm but looked better at 12.5mm..... probably why..And drawings confirming the dimension.

I thought I was too gash and didn't want to post that I scaled the 151/20 barrel as 30mm dia and 80cm from the end of the thick part to the muzzle.
You can probably do better with some scale photo's.

In the pic attached to my post #7 the barrel is protruding almost to the front fastener on the engine cowling ( in the drawings as well ). So using your model , take a ruler and measure the distance from the wing leading edge to the fastener on the model. And you have the dimension. Nothing more to add.

PS on the photo i believe there will be some parallax error judging where it is against the fuselage
