This model represents the spinner and propeller hub of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 F, Bf 109 G, and Bf 109 K fighter aircraft. This spinner was accurately scaled from Messerschmitt factory blueprints.
Please compare the following dimensions to your Bf 109 kit's fuselage parts to ensure a good match.
- Diameter of the spinner base plate = 31.59 mm
- Diameter of base plate hole for plastic kit's propeller shaft part = 4.6 mm (matches Trumpeter kits)
- Diameter of slots for propeller blades = 3.6 mm
This model can be adapted to fit other 1/24 scale kits.
Many spinners fit to real Bf 109 fighters were supplied by subcontractors. Surface details differed depending on the subcontractor's method of manufacture. Therefore, spinners varied from aircraft to aircraft. Three common spinner configurations are available. For our purposes, the different available configurations are called "Type A", "Type B" and "Type C". Please check your references to know which is correct for the specific aircraft you are modeling.
The difference between types is two-fold: surface features and shape.
- Type A: smoothest, rivet/spot-weld detail limited to the spinner base plate
- Type B: considerable rivet/spot weld pattern, same shape as Type A
- Type C: most surface detail. The real spinner had a detachable cap around the cannon blast tube. This feature is captured in the model. Type C has a slightly different shape than Types A and B. Type C is very slightly shorter exposing more of the blast tube although the blast tube itself is the same length as Types A and B.
Please choose one of the three types when ordering.
Propeller blades are not included. The slots in the propeller hub for propeller blades are 3.5 mm in diameter.
