Re: Me109G-10 Dual Production Plates

Hi Mike,
I must admit that I’ve never read about using to production completely new parts only. I’ve met every now and again pieces of information that parts from damaged planes were used to new production and old airframes were finished as new versions. I found it as a natural process . But this subject has never been investigated by me and maybe it was the reason of my confusion. We learn something new each day.
Regarding dual plates found only on G-10. As we know G-10 is rather a specific version of Gustav and briefly to say it was a temporary version. G-10 project based on G-6 /G-14 airframes and in order to put DB 605D to "old" airframes some changes were needed. In my opinion the reason that the second plate concerning changes we found on G-10 only was connected with this problem. I don’t think that the second plate had anything to do with planes damaged during production process. Of course it is only my supposition.
Grzegorz
