Ón some pictures of 109s the exhaust stubs are very low on the cowling
while others are up high.  I remember about twenty years ago there wa
someone rebuilding them, but had newer type engines, and the exhausts wer
up high, thus being a telltale that it was not original.  But...now ...

I posted again as I think people are commenting on bridgeport
turrets..
I now have the weight, well found three specs that gave it as 1300kg,

Hi again.
Does any one make an inexpensive 1/32 sale aircraft model that has 6
or 8 .50 cal wing guns? How about Revell/Monogram?

I would like to get at least one 1/32 scale Packard engine.
Do any of the *CURRENT IN PRODUCTION* 1/32 aircraft kits come with a

If not, is there a *CURRENT IN PRODUCTION* 1/32 scale model with an

I am wondering if the flood of spam is going to basically kill
