First I’d like to introduce myself. I’m a modeler from Poland and after a long brake I’ve decided to return to hobby for real. For my first project I’ve chosen the stuka zu fuss and now I have a huge problem with this project. I have been surfing the net for weeks and nothing…. I couldn’t find any interesting photos referring to firing system. I’m really exhausted and confused, It really makes me crazy. Please help me!!!! Now I will try to explain the problem… All I know is that each rocket was plugged to the thin wire (number 1.). So we have three thin wires on each side. Each thin wire was plugged to the thick one (number 2.) which was attached to the inner side of the hull. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-11/ ... zufuss.jpg Now the problem begins. Where the thick cables end. And the second question. How the firing remote looked like (any photos) and how it was connected to the firing system. I would be very happy if you could help me. P.S. Sorry for my english Best regards Michal
Che, I think he's referring to the actual firing mechanism, or the "electric trigger," if you will. That would be a neat item to identify for modellers.
I mean the internal firing system Rockets were fired electricly. A wire with heating element was put in on the back of the each rocket (wire number 1). It is said that firing device was the same as Nebelwerfer had, something like box with T- shaped handle (do you have any pics referring to this device). As you see my problem is that I really don't know how the firing remote looked like and where it was plugged. Take a look ance again at the linked picture. In my opinion the thick interior cables (number 2) must have met in the front of the vehicle in some metal box or something.
I have the book ENEMY ORDENANCE MATERAIL VOL. 1 GERMAN. It has the stuka/foot in it but it does not say anything about the firing mechanisims
