Title: Bf 109G6
Post by: Loddar on May 21, 2002, 09:40:31 AM

Have the Bf109-G6 really a "Galland" canopy ???

In AH it have and I mean it has not such a Canopy. Later versions have, the G14 and the K series.

Another is the Cannons of the Bf109-G6 and the G10. G6 have no 20mm Cannon mounted in the engine. It is always the MK108 30mm cannon and The G10 series have no MK108 cannon mounted. It is always the 20mm cannon. Is this correct ???

Anybody can help ?

Usual weapon for 109G-6 and G-10 was the MG151/20, G-6/U4 as well as G-10/U4 used the MK108 instead.
The erla canopies of 1st and 2nd type were also fitted to some G6, but the third kind of Erla canopy wasn't.

Loddar,

All G6's used by finns, had 20mm cannon.

All first serie G6's had 20mm, since there wasn't enough 30mm cannons and were only installed to G6s later and to newer models.
I suppose most G10's had 30mm.

G6 had two types of canopies.

Yup..it had the 20mm and the 30mm. Normal hood and later hood..
Tall tail and short, bumps on Cowl and no bumps on cowl.
the G6 was a very diverse AC.

 Some pics.

 See how the G-6 in the 3rd pic is fitted with old-style canopies, and the G-6 in the 4th pic has both the Galland hood and the Erla Haube fitted in.
