Just a question though, can the nose cannon be recessed back into the hub to sit flush with the edge or does it need to stick out that far?

Obviously it could, but all the reference material we got shows it was protruding like that.

Hi Muas, could you be so kind to tell me where to find that reference material?

Hi Muas, could you be so kind to tell me where to find that reference material?

These are from the E-2 proptotype, probably some of the few photo/drawing reference of an Emil motor cannon.
I can't remember exactly where I got these images from, but I found them on the internet for sure.

Al the best.

Thanks for reply, but that plane isn't a E-2, even a prototype.
That source is wrong (IICR the book is "Aerodetail 1 Messerschmitt BF109E"). The plane depicted is an E-3/4 Wrkn 5601 or E-3 5600* ( differents sources), and the so called "brast-tube" its just a towing system tested without too much success.

Here you have 2 better pics.

BTW, the new great Reticle mod in the Beta section gives bright reticles also to these plane, and the Emil N models

Thank you! I was looking for this plane a long time ago.
