In talking with a couple of other members here, we thought about starting up a late-war Bf-109 GB. Any variant from the Bf-109G-6 onward would be eligible. These would include the G-6, G-10, G-12, G-14, and the K-4. Any sub-variants of these would also be acceptable (IE G-14/AS). Any scale allowed, OOB or every aftermarket accessory you can throw at it. Preferably an unstarted kit, but ones just started would be OK. My thought is a start date of November 27th, 2008 and running through V-E Day on May 8th, 2009. Cross-over builds allowed. If this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to join up!
Below is the GB badge, feel free to grab it whenever you like. I will host it until the end of the GB (5/8/09).

First recruit reporting for duty, Herr Hauptmann! I'll do a few, specifics to follow.
luftwaffle- Tell me about the badge in your sig, was there a 109 GB earlier this year that I missed?
hkshooter- Thank you! I got you on the list. Just let me know when you decide what you want to build.
WarHammer25- I think cross-overs are fine. How much of the kit have you built already?
phoenix- Outstanding! Glad to have you aboard. Your expertise will be a welcome addtion here. I'll go ahead and add the 1/48 G-6, just let me know on the other one whenever you have a chance.
Hey Frank, I would like to join this GB. I have three G-10 in the stash and need a reason to build one. They are the Revell/Monogram offerings and upon looking at them they are very basic in detail. Maybe I can find some AM stuff to jazz them up a bit. It's in 1/48 by the way.
Steve
Got you on the list fellas. Thanks for signing up!
I was playing around with a GB badge this evening, thought I would share it and see what you guys think.
Hi Frank,
I may regret the overcommittment, but I've sure got the 109 bug... I have a Hasegawa 1:48 K-4 in my stash, also a Hasegawa 1:48 G-6 and a Promodeller 1:72 G-10. I'll nominate the G-6 at this point simply because it's more accessible than the others: I might need AM decals for Reich defense, not sure what's in the kit.
No promises, I'll know in a couple of months what's possible, and might have to withdraw, but I'd sure like to add another 109 to my lineup!
Cheers,
Mike/TB379
Howdy Frank old boy. Since you refuse to venture into the dark world of armor, I must come into the light to see ya.
Can a crossover be included? My club is doing a GB, mandatory participation for E-Board members, to show what can be done with a snap together model. We will be doing some displays at various events and want to dmenstratethat you don't have spend your weeks gas money on a build. All the kits we are doing are Pegasus EZ Snaps and I am doing a G-6 and would like to submit here as well. Me? In an a/c GB?
Outstanding! Glad to see the interest here.
Mike/TB379- I put you down for the G-6. Hope you will be able to stay, but if you need to go, I understand.
WarHammer25- Perfect! Can't wait to see your Karl. I almost chose that one to build myself!
Thanks John!
Marc- WOOHOO! Glad we could draw you back into the light (even if it is temporary!). Great to see ya!
Now, where the heck is Guy at?
Thanks Frank
Last time I saw Guy he was putting the finishing touches on a half traxxxxxxx AIRPLANE ... I said airplane
BTW I like the badge. Ifthis is the one you go with, what isthe ruling on claiming the badge? Now, not until the start date or not until completed build?
