Re: Bf 109 B/C/D technical data?

Hallo Guerra Civil!
these data can be found in the manuals, especially the "Ladeplan" sections. I don't have them at hand so answers would take some time...
These date are essentially "theoretical" - in practical use they might differ slightly according to refits or modifications. But these were rather restricted with the older versions compared to e. g. the Bf109G .
As the Bf109C used another engine as the other versions and Bf109B carried less armament there were certainly some differences. An online source I remember is:
http://www.kurfurst.org/#engines

The armamament was for the Bf109B three MG17 (one through the spinner which was often/mostly removed) while the other versions carried two MG17 above the engine (1000rpg) and two in the wings (500rpg). The Bf109C-3 did carry the same wing armament as the Bf109E-3 e.g. 2 MG/FF with 60 rpg.
IIRC the a/c used by the J/88 were standard types with the exeption of the missing wireless sets.

Sources are:
- Vogt "Messerschmitt Bf 109 Einsatzmaschinen - Das Nachschlagwerk", VDM Nickel (german)
- Radinger/Schick "Messerschmitt Bf 109 A-E", Schiffer (english) or Aviatic (german)
- Manuals, reprints of which are obtainable through Luftfahrt Archiv Hafner:

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Ralph
