sigh... of course it was Fs...

btw there were also F-3s with engine mounted MG151/15, Just like F-2 but powered by DB601E instead -N.

hard one. But as it was only productioned during 1934-1936 it must have been some of the Squadrons involved in the Spanish
civil war. Legion Condor?

Aircraft bf 109 c or d

The F-2 had the 15mm but the other F's prior to the F-4 used the 20mm MG/FF.

Yeah it's mine. I have other junk too but I quit collecting it two or three years ago.

Here's a shot of the various munitions with a soda can for scale.

I seem to recall Galland's 109 was customized with 15mms. But I'm confused if it was a 109E with 2xMG-FF + 1xMG151/15, or if it was a 109F-1 with 3xMG151/15... or was it a F2 with 2x20mm + 1xMG151/15??

Staga · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2002, 03:43:12 PM »

F-0 MG/FFM with 2xMG17

Based on the H O ability of the spit (other than the spit 14) I would guess that that red one is a hispano.

2 in the cowl of the Bf109k6

Oh, oh , I know I know!

Hispano!

EDIT: And the 15mm Mg151 was used in the nose of the Bf109F2 and Bf109F3. I think the F1 had an MG-FF, but it might have had the 151/15. The F4 had the Mg151/20.
