CrankyCrafstman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hey all I have a question for all the knowledgeable people on here. What aircraft did the Allies face during operation "Torch"? I have a Trumpeter Bf109G-2 trop and would like to know if this would have been used during operation "Torch" or if it came out later in the war. Also what armament did the Bf109G-2 trop have?

GazzaS Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 one 20mm MG 151 firing through the propeller hub and 2 X MG 17 7.92 mm over the engine. Numerous Rustzatz available, too. Here is a G2 in Tunisia: And here are some brand-spanking new ones fresh from the factory in desert camo scheme: From a former Michigander...

nmayhew Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 FYI E-7 has a fuel tank underneath, not a bomb (in which case it would be an E-4/B...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gaz Sometimes, the MG 151 wing gun pods were removable and would be put on or taken off depending on mission requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nige It kind of looks like it's covered with a canvas bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I wasn't there... But I would guess something hit the rudder hard enough to collapse the inner structure but without tearing it, leaving the canvas to sag. Cheers! Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
