Many ,many years ago Scale Models did a conversion using the Revell Me 109 G10 and theFalcon conversion set to produce a G12. I have the article but no way of posting it unless I speak to my brother ,Drewe, if that is any good. Airfix mag also did a conversion articale in 1/72, I have that too.

Steve,

Images of the '109 G-12's rear cockpit can be found on page 113 of 'Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-K,' by Radinger and Otto (Schiffer [USA], 1999;

Charles Metz

There are also a few in Squadron's "Messeschmitt Bf 109 in action, Part 2". I don't remember if I ever scanned them, but I could do it. And somewhere I have several shots (probaly I burnt them to CD-R), from when I was planning to do one. Unfortunately, I never got the Falcon conversion from Squadron... should be time to try again. (Actually, I decided doing an avia CS.99 would be far easier, and it would look nicer too)

I'm looking for the data to do a 1/24 '109G-12. So far I've not been able to find anything on the actual equipment layout. The second cockpit was claimed to be fully equipped, or nearly so, and I'd guess a standard instrument panel, minus the gun counters and upper arch. Things like the trim wheels would be obvious, likely the throttle too. But would there be a full electric panel? And some of the little levers and such? Duplicate oxygen is a must, and as they were not usually fitted, some of the radio controls would go away. I'm not in a great rush, but it would be nice to find the details. I've got a 1/32 BMW003 to finish, then a 1/24 '109Z to do!
