Hi all

I need some assistance.

I am building an inflight model of the BF109G-4 and need a reference photo of how the wheel bays looked when in flight. The Hasegawa kit is not made for an inflight option and, using the standard kit parts, there is a small triangle of open space between the top of the door and the main wing. Should I close this up? If it is open, I may need to do a minor scratchbuild as I am pretty sure the real plane did not a have a square hole for parts D12& D13...

Thanks in advance

Hi Penny

Thanks for that link. It had exactly what I needed. The pics of the G-4, to me, look like there would be an opening.

Cheers
Wiz
