Pak75 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hi Does anyone know if ME 109E supercharger air intake has a screen behind the right-angled vanes? Thinking about improving this part in Airfix 1/24 kit. Logic says 'yes' but it is not visible in any photos i have seen. Perhaps further inside supercharger?

Black Knight Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 afair there is no screen in the intake unit but there is a round shaped coarse screen just in front of the impeller blades in the supercharger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak75 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thanks Black Knight I can just make out something in this photo As you say, it is in supercharger itself. Can't quite make out if it is square or round screen... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 This is a G but the E and F were similar but without the big silver mounting ring more to keep fingers out than stones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junchan Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Here're diagrams from the BF 109E Ersatzteil Liste (parts list), Russian evaluation report and DB 601 Motorhandbuch for your reference. Hope these will help. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
