Re: Bf 109 F-2 Trop South Africa War Museum
Now, these details vary but I have some info from Black-Six, 10639. Many of the smaller parts like Flaps or even U/C legs often have plates with the part number (Gerate Nr) and item serial number (Werke Nr) but not the aircraft Nr. The 109 major parts with A/C serial number are, Plate front left side below windshield, small triangular plate on rear RHS of fuselage near the lifting/jacking tube, an ID plate in the area of the spar carry-through structure under the cockpit, wing ID plate on the rib 1 of each wing. Now, there may also be many other places where the A/C serial number has been simply stamped at the edge of a panel such as a cowling, the wing fillet panels or on other minor parts.
Good luck with an ID! The South African Museum made a replica kit of the sand filter from that cowling for us to use on Black-Six. It was a great job and I fitted it on Black-Six!
Cheers
