Title: 109G-10 should have red landing gear legs
Post by: -ik- on July 29, 1999, 01:46:00 AM: 109's with the MW 50 system used 96 or 100 octane C3 fuel, and had the landing gear legs painted red in order to remind the ground crew of the fuel requirements (87 octane fuel would ruin the engine).

It would be very cool if AH was the first sim to represent this, of course you could only see it when the landing gear were extended, but still very cool. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Post by: Bugjam on July 29, 1999, 02:31:00 AM: Yeah and most of the 109 pilots had blue eyes. Also this should be modelled. Of course you could see this only at ten yards and less in HO attack but still it would be cool. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

HTC, repaint the landing gear legs red in 109G-10!! Ik deserves it after all the effort he's done for 109's authencity (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: NATEDOG on July 29, 1999, 11:06:00 AM: the 109 is getting a whole new paint job.....we didn't have good references the first time thru..... if the references we use have red landing gears, I'll be sure to add them in...

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

In the book Bf 109 G/K Field Conversion Kits by Harold Vogt it has a picture of the same 109G-10, the caption reads: "Bf 109G-10 following an outstanding restoration job. The red markings on the upper part of the strut are clearly visible and reveal that this aircraft is equipped with the MW 50 system.

Post by: -ik- on July 30, 1999, 03:48:00 AM: just found another good quote from Messerschmitt Bf 109 F,G & K Series by Jochen Prien and Peter Rodeike.

pictures a 109G-6/AS and on this particular 109 the whole strust is red along with the wheel hub.

Quote
...red undercarriage legs. The latter were allegedly supposed to remind the ground personnel that the engines of these machines required 100 octane fuel.

Post by: Dune on August 03, 1999, 08:25:00 AM: ....and while your at it, could you repaint the tail of the P-51D blue also? Then it would have the correct markings for the 487th FS "Lil' Bastards". (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

"You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others. Man has one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it is a lovely airplane he loses it to, there is where his heart will forever be."

Post by: BadMan 4th FG on August 16, 1999, 10:53:00 PM: With all due respect to Rebel and Dune, every body knows that the nose of the P-51 should be RED.

Who ever heard of a P-51 with a blue nose? I mean really..... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Sascha JG 77 on August 17, 1999, 03:04:00 AM: hmm i thought this thread was about the G-10s landing gear...? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

BTW: What s wrong with the "6-view" on this thing? To me it looks pretty similar to the one that "THAT OTHER WW2 ONLINE SIM" models for the late 109s.
Then again..I could be wrong...
