The Me-109 G windscreen

[vinnie]

Thanks, Leo and Mike! I sent you a pm, Mike.

I'm really making progress with the process of getting everything together to make my own windscreen (the blueprints are fantastic, Mike! ).
I now have an original relic Me-109 G windscreen side panel, but because of the rust it is very hard to get the details together.

-Does anyone know what the exact thickness of the steel was? My panel thickness measures between 1,70 and 2,04 mm...

Hi Vinnie!

I have original frame and measurements are:

Thickness is everywhere 1,5 mm, but some parts are different, look photos.
3.0 mm part is bended 180 degrees from 1,5 mm thick part, thats why it is 3,0 mm.

Hi Vesa,

Thank you for your clear answer and pictures! That was just what I needed!
And your windscreen is really beautiful, ready to install on a Bf-109
