Has anyone thought of doing the bare metal G-6 Mosquito chaser? It is kind of a cool one.
I am not familiar with this one, please tell me more!!!

There was a G-6 that the Luftwaffe sanded down to bare metal to try to add speed. It was for chasing down Mosquitos that were flying over Germany. A regular G-6 couldn't run down a Mosquito going full bore so they tried to add some speed to one.

Here is a link for a build of it:

	Thanks Frank. I've been looking for a GB to slide the G-10 into. Interesting story about the Russian Liberation Army-you talk about being between a rock & a hard place.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Liberation_Army bob

	Thanks for that info on the Mosquito chaser, very intriguing aircraft. I definately want to add one of these to my collection. Thanks for the link! Bob- I have read a tiny amount about the Russian Liberation Army. I am going to check out that link- thanks! Frank

Re: Bf-109: Reich Defender GB 12/1/08-5/8/09

	Cooo eeee, ive found you all. Count me in for sure. Never need an excuse to build another 109. Problem is i dont have anything that late. Aah well, im away this weekend and the future ex-missus has promised to buy me a kit if i come with her to her Aunts. Sounds like a decent reason to go LOL. Im off now to sort out a few extras, courtesy of Hannants. ...Guy P.S Right thats the ordering done. Ive ordered the eagle cal sheet for the red scalloped nosed K-4 of Hermann Graf along with the CMK cockpit set for the same. The kit will be Hasagawa 1/48 https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=EAG48062 ..'Your an embarrassment to the human genus, makes me ashamed to call myself Homo'.

	Fellas- With the upcoming holiday next weekend here in the States, I decided to bump up the start date to Thursday, the 27th. That way, if people want to get going on their builds next weekend, they can do so freely! Frank

	I agree with you SC, some serious talent signed up here. I really can't wait to see the models turned out here. Bet you're ready for something a little different after those three Hurricanes! Frank

Re: Bf-109: Reich Defender GB 11/27/08-5/8/09

	This should turn into a great GB. I know what will happen, as with all good GB's, we'll end up building 2 or 3 or even 4 builds. I only planned one build with the BoB GB but ended up building 3!! Ive ordered the eagle cal decal sheet, theres about 4 planes to decal on there, add to that Hasa and Tamiya kits are pretty reasonable OOB and just fall together. Mmmmmm. Roll on the 27th ...Guy ..'Your an embarrassment to the human genus, makes me ashamed to call myself Homo'.

Re: Bf-109: Reich Defender GB 11/27/08-5/8/09

	Hey Frank! I'm thinking that this GB may be just what I need to get out of my funk, so count me in with a 1/48 Hasegawa G-14, done in Hartmann's winter scheme (always wanted to take a crack at that one). Got the kit, lots of Eduard PE, AM decals, a CMK resin 'pit/wheels/spinner, and some Moskit exhausts to throw into it. Should be fun! -Mike (Lt. FAAGB/USNFAWGB) "We have our own ammunition.

And how Frank! I do not think I will be doing any RAF camo colors for a while! I am still seeing cross-eyed! I can feel the Luftwaffe calling me to the dark side now!
