Hi Guys
A quick Question
Do the pie slices (flat plate wedge) sections that are used on the crew heater
fit in between the spokes of the grid top ring or under
the ring ? if you see what I mean. :?

Thanks

Derek

Hi Derek,

Has missed your posting until this morning - sorry :oops:
Not quite sure what you are aiming at but this (accurate) drawing of the Late Ausf G engine deck might be of any use I hope.

Please note that the round mesh on the heather and air outlet was at a 45 degree angle off compared to the 4 air inlet ones.

Cheers
Kent

Hi Kent
Thats great just what I needed

I am making the wedges that are used to blank off sections of the crew heater.
They look as if they fit into a resesed ring above the mesh screen.

Thanks a lot

Derek

Hi Derek,

Here's a good picture(although there's no pie slices shown). The slices are under the outer ring and on top of the mesh.

and another. I apologize I don't remember who's nice Panther this is but I had this in one of my reference folders. Hope it's OK I post it here.

Hope that helps

Hi Tim
Thats it I see now how they fit in.
By the way I think that looks like Vince's Panther.

Thanks again

Derek
