No. The gun only flipped out when serviced. The cover i left of. Why? Because the cover was left of in service often.

Like on this white K Great detail, just reading up the differences between mk103 and mk108’s as used on the Fw190 A-8 R2. the mk 108 uses 30x90RB mm ammunition. the mk 103 uses 30x184B mm ammunition. So 103 more punch for your money. Toying with idea of adding them on to my Border Fw 190 build……. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mk103 not easy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 30, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2023 First steps of the gunsight. Inside this arrangement I will place a Quickboost Revi 12 gunsight. On the side I will add two thin wires that go through the small holes of the louvres. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
