Jag har lite funderingar angående J7 Bristol Bulldog. Det jag undrar är hurvida "ksp-bulorna" som monterades på kroppsidorna lades direkt på flygkroppen, eller om ett motsvarande hål togs upp bakom dom?

Re: J7 Bulldog
Jag är ganska övertygad om att kulsprutornas slutstycken ("breech") var åtkomliga för piloten, såsom sed var långt fram i tiden (Bf 109, J 9?) även om jag inte hittat någon bild. Men här är ett citat ur en intervju med en gammal jaktflygare som är belysande. Piloten kunde behöva fixa trubbel med kulsprutans funktion: I flew a delightful little single-seat biplane, the Hawker Fury, which had fixed synchronized machine guns. In the event of a stoppage, we had to be able to take the breech apart, put it back together and fire again, though I'll never know how they expected us to do that during a dogfight. (Källa: http://www.tarrif.net/wwii/interviews/a ... wright.htm)
Ett citat från http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/ ... n-old.html: During World War I and most of the interbellum, the standard fighter armament consisted of two rifle-calibre machineguns, typically installed in the upper decking of the front fuselage, and with the breeches within reach of the pilot so that he could clear stoppages. Although some fighters of WWII still had this form of armament, it was quickly abandoned by most. The reason was associated with the introduction of the monoplane fighter. Higher combat speeds and the sturdier construction of modern aircraft also required more powerful armament. The different construction of a cantilever monoplane also made it possible to install guns within the wings.
Kanske det som sägs om "bulan" på svenska Hawker Hart på http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2 ... l_hart.htm ha bäring även på svenska Bristol Bulldog

Re: J7 Bulldog
Tackar för svaret! Jag håller på med en modell i skala 1/48 å då är det ju "viktigt" att det blir rätt.
