rear-firing pods on Me109

[Appleby]

Good morning everyone

I am interested in a very rare and unusual modification in one or more Bf109. I found this in the web.


''The Bf109G-2 was generally similar but had no pressure cabin. It was used primarily in the fighter-reconnaissance role, and the service test group at Guyan-court, France, experimented with a ventral gun pack in which two rear-firing MG17 machine-guns were fitted. '' Source: http://www.malignani...La%20Storia.htm

also, I found photos of a rear-facing mirror on Bf109 at Guyancourt belonging to 4.(F)/123 ref. Classic publications, Aufklarer 2 1942-1945 pag 83

I have found a little reference also here ... as ventral gun pack ... but again a very suspicious reference http://www.ishop2go....064_Prt_en.html

and, I remember vaguely a resin detail for models that depicted the rear-firing pod, some years ago in the web ... I don't remember where




But I haven't found any more about it. Is there anybody who knows some other details for a modelling project, is there any images of the gun pack?

Thanks for any help
