Drifterdon Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm by no means an experten on Luftwaffe aircraft and the more I try and research, the more confused I become (easy thing for me). Which versions of the Bf-109 had the round wheel well openings and which had the squared openings? I've seen discussions where certain versions had the square openings expecting landing gear covers but then later went to round openings. I've built kits and have various manufacturers kits where late G's and K's have the square openings. Which is correct or should I even worry about it? Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Touvdal Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The F Series has round, though some early F´s had square. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck1945 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 All Bf 109, series except the 'F' had the squared off wheel openings. Then as Jes said some 'F' series still had the squared instead of rounded opening. Depends on series and builder. F-4 was mostly rounded, F-2 and earlier were usually squared. If you need more specifics, ask away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you need more specifics, ask away. For some obscure reasons (mainly due to me approaching 50)I was thinking about the holes in the strut housing...not the WHEEL openings ...disregard my post and cope with my lone neuron :) !
