BF109G and K armament and variants
Messerschmitt Bf 109 Lineage
Copyright (c) 1994, Doug Girling (girling@cs.sfu.ca) Dont know if this is of any use for team daidalos, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bf 109G (Gustav) Modelling comments: The 'G incorporated the following changes from the 'F: * Larger tailwheel (non-retractable, tailwheel well faired over) * Larger main wheels with different tread pattern, with bulged fairing in wing top to accomodate larger main wheels (G3 onwards except G4) * Slightly larger supercharger intake scoop. * Later 'Gs incorporated cowl bulges. * Canopy side windows have vertical brace in middle of panel, and the elimination of the lower quarter-lights (i.e., the small triangular windows below the windscreen). This is in aid of cabin pressurization. * Pilot's head armour is bulkier, and more "wrap-around". This is in aid of cabin pressurization. * Addition of a pair of small scoops behind propellor hub on both sides of fuselage for engine direct cooling. * Late 'G-5 was the first to incorporate "Galland" canopy, which wasn't standard until the G-14. * Upper cowling is recontoured to provide a virtually unbroken curve from spinner to fwd. decking. * Upper cowling on 'G5 and later incorporated bulges for the breech of the Mg 131 machine guns. * Enlarged oil cooler Standard Modifications ---------------------- The following tables list the various field and factory modifications applied to the Gustav. Specific type entries incorporating these modifications have been simplified to save space--consult the base (sub)type for specifications and tables 3 & 4 for modifications. Other modifications as noted in the entry. Table 3. R"=08usts"=08atz (/R) Modifications1 (Bf 109G-1 through Bf 109G-5) ------------------------------------------------------------------- /R1 Addition of ETC 250 ventral rack for SC 250 bomb (and 2 300 l underwing drop tanks?) /R2 Addition of ETC 50/VIIId ventral rack for 1 SC 250 bomb or 4 SC 50 bombs /R3 Addition of (ETC 250?) ventral rack for 300 l drop tank /R4 Photo reconnaisance mod. Addition of Rb 50/30 vertical camera aft of cockpit and 2 300 l drop tanks on wing and deletion of MG 151/20 and GM 1 nitrous oxide injectant system /R5 Addition of 2 MK 108 in underwing gondolas /R6 Addition of 2 MG 151 in underwing gondolas /R7 Addition of D/F equipment inside aft fuselage behind cockpit, D/F loop on fuselage top aft of antenna mast. (D/F loop to facilitate locating the aircraft in poor weather, poor visibility, or after a crash. /Trop Sand filter in front of supercharger intake plus addition of desert survival kit (carbine, food, water, signal equip., etc.) Table 4. Umr"=08ust-Baus"=08atze (/U) Modifications2 (Bf 109G series and la= ter) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- /U2 Wooden tailplane with larger trim tab. /U3 MW 50 methanol-water injectant. /U4 Centreline MK 151/20 replaced with MK 108 short barrelled 30mm cannon. Bf 109G-0 (12 pre-production--first was Werk-Nr 14001 VJ+WA) Engine: DB 601E Radio: FuG 7A Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Small engine cooling scoops behind spinner not included Bf 109G-1 Engine: DB 605A-1 or DB 605B-1 Armament: 2 MG 17 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 7A Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Pressurized cockpit Provision for GM 1 nitrous oxide boost Bf 109G-1/R3 (Long range fighter) =20 Bf 109G-1/R6 (Bomber destroyer) Bf 109G-1/Trop Tropicalized G-1 suffered from jamming of the MG 151/20 cannon. To compensate for the loss of firepower, the MG 17 machine guns were replaced with MG 131 machine guns c/w the resulting cowl bumps needed to provide clearance for the breech & ammunition path. The dust filter is of Italian design. This configuration saw service in the Med., North Africa & South Russia. Engine: DB 605A-1 Armament: 2 MG 131 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 7A Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Sand filter in front of supercharger intake Desert survival kit (carbine, food, water, signal equip., etc.) Bf 109G-2 The G-2 series were identical to the G-1 except for the deletion of cockpit pressurization. Provision for GM 1 nitrous oxide injection retained. See the Bf 109G-1 for details on the Bf 109G-2. Engine: DB 605A-1 or DB 605B-1 Armament: 2 MG 17 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 7A Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Provision for GM 1 nitrous oxide boost =20 Bf 109G-2/R3 (Long range fighter) Bf 109G-2/R4 ? (Photo-reconnaissance 'G2) Bf 109G-2/R6 (Bomber destroyer) Bf 109G-2/Trop (Tropicalized G-2) Bf 109G-3 (Introduced Aug '42) This variant was the first 'G to introduce the wing bulges for the larger tires. Otherwise, the only difference between the 'G3 and the 'G1 (or the 'G4 and 'G2) was the substitution of the FuG 16z R/T radio for the FuG 7a. Engine: DB 605A-1 Armament: 2 MG 17 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 16ZY Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Pressurized cockpit GM 1 Nitrous oxide injectant boost Bf 109G-3/R1 (Limited-production fighter-bomber G-3) Bf 109G-3/R2 (Production fighter-bomber G-3.

Provision for GM 1 nitrous oxide injection retained. See the Bf 109G-3 for details on the Bf 109G-4. Engine: DB 605A-1 Armament: 2 MG 17 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 16ZY Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Unpressurized cockpit GM 1 Nitrous oxide injectant boost Bf 109G-4/R1 (Limited-production fighter-bomber G-4) Bf 109G-4/R2 (Production fighter-bomber G-4. Never delivered) Bf 109G-4/R4 (Reconnaissance G-4. Never reached production) Bf 109G-4/R7 (G-4 with D/F equipment) Bf 109G-5 The Bf 109G-5 was the first of the Gustavs (excluding the /Trop?) to introduce the distinctive bulges on the cowling, which were required to accomodate the breech and ammuntion feed chutes of the MG 131 machine guns. Those a/c equipped with the DB 605AS have "AS" appended to the type designation (e.g., Bf 109G-5/R3AS). GM 1 nitrous oxid injection gave way to dual-stage supercharging. Engine: DB 605A-1 or DB 605AS Armament: 2 MG 131 in cowl, 1 MG 151/20 firing through spinner Radio: FuG 16ZY Gunsight: Revi C/12D reflector Notes: Pressurized cockpit Shorter radio mast Bf 109G-5/R1 (Authorized, but not produced) (Fighter bomber) Bf 109G-5/R2 (Authorized, but not produced) (Fighter bomber) Note: Some Bf 109G5/R2 were Bf 109G5s with the Bf 109G-6/R2 mod.

Thanks for your effort, even if there may be some errors. This list at least gives us a hint of the complexity of maintaining and providing spare parts for all the Bf-109 variants which must have been in use with operational units at one time.
Out of curiousity, does anyone know of any memoirs published by people who served in maintenance of these planes at either the field or depot level? I would like to learn how they solved the numerous logistic and technical problems which must have arisen, under extremely difficult conditions, to keep these beautiful planes flying!

Rüstsatz kits did not alter the aircraft's designation, so a Bf 109 G-6 with Rüstsatz II remained designated as 'Bf 109 G-6', and not 'G-6/R2' – the G-6/R2 was a reconnaissance fighter with MW 50, as suggested by most publications. The Umrüst-Bausatz, Umbau, or Rüstzustand were identified with either an "/R" or "/U" suffix and an Arabic number, e.g. Bf 109 G-10/U4. Common Umrüst-Bausatz or Umbau (conversion) U1 (Messerschmitt P6 reversible-pitch propeller to be used as air brake, only prototypes) U2 (GM-1 boost, during 1944 several hundred converted to MW-50 boost) U3 (Reconnaissance conversion, in autumn 1943 G-6/U3 adopted as G-8 production variant) U4 (30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 Motorkanone engine-mounted cannon) Last edited by ImpalerNL; 10-16-2010 at 02:56 PM.
