Re: Landing gear from a ME-110?

It looks very much like it to me.

Is there a label marked "Vorsicht!" on the arm? This is part of the torque link and the other part (which forms the vee-shape) is missing.

This is not from a Bf 110, I have an original main gear leg, wheel and tire (see attached foto). The diameter of the chromed part is about 3 3/8 inches. My first thouhgt was Me 262 but there are several differences.

Re: Landing gear from a ME-110?

After searching thru Günther Sengfelder's book on German landing gear's, I think you probably have a gear strut from a Ju 88. This would also include 188 and 388 aircraft.

I agree!

Now that we can see the holes in the torque link it is clearly not Me110 after all, and the torque link looks too wide as well.
