BF109G Cockpit Vents Photo.

Hello,

Need some help. Would anyone have a photo of the inside of the Bf 109G cockpit vents, the ones on the fuselage side just below the front windscreen. I think it’s a simple circular shutter arrangement like a radiation sign but cannot confirm this despite trawling the internet. I have only found one photo that shows about a 1/10 of one. I need this for my 109 cockpit project.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Tony. The rule will save me some detective work. What’s the history behind that piece ?

Thanks for the response folks, much appreciated. Those new build parts are rather nice but a bit beyond my finances unfortunately 🙁

Thanks Tony, most things I have been able to find but this is one bit that has eluded me.
