Frank, it would seem me and you have similar tast in 109's. Yellow 2 is also a jet defender for KgJ 6. I have that decal sheet as well. This one caught my eye is white 7 a K-4. I think this 109 had RLM 82 on the fuselage and RLM 83 on the wings. With the odd camo, red spinner and KGJ's red and black RV band I thought this would make a great looking model. I found white 7 decals and the correct national marking. I can paint the band and spinner. If you decide to do yellow 2 I may push white 7 up and do this one first.

Stan- Was Yellow 2 the bird you were going to do?  I was just looking at adding another sheet or two of Eagle Ed's decals to my stash.   I'll go ahead and order them and take a look at them when they arrive.  If you wanted to build Yellow 2, please by all means do so!

Karl- You got it!  I added you to page one, just let me know which one you decide on and I'll add it next to your name.

Stan,

Sorry, my bad!  I mis-read your post.   Now I see that you were pointing out that we were building aircraft from the same unit.  I'll stick with Yellow 2 and look forward to seeing White 7 from you!

I would be very interested in anything you turn up on Yellow 2.  Funny you mention KGJ 6, I was just putting another sheet of Eagle Cals decals in my shopping cart for Black < of KGJ 6!

As for the lottery, maybe we should both play!

PM inbound!

John-

If I may, I would go for White 7 II/JG51.  Those are some of my favorite G-6 markings.  Speaking of those, I have the Hasegawa 1/32 kit with those markings.  I also have the Eagle Cals set of the same aircraft.  Hasegawa has the brown eyes, Eagle Cals has blue eyes.  Think it would be safe to assume that Eagle got it right?

Hi all,

I decided to excavate my stash today, which meant climbing up a mound of cartons and getting into one at the back, near the ceiling. I was able to pull out the Hasegawa 1:48 Karl and she looks a sweet build! (Also located two other kits in the carton that weren't properly listed, and logged them in -- now I know where that missing Tamiya E-3 is!)

I'll need to do some research. Kit markings include Yellow 4 (Strebel, II/JG 3, March '45) and Yellow 1 (II/JG 27, no date given). I'll do a websearch for available decals and see what good-looking schemes are to be had.

I'm a tad confused about the detail painting. Hasegawa use Gunze paint codes and RLMs for different items on the list. The cockpit is mostly painted Gunze 339, for which a FS equivalent is given, 16081 'Engine Gray.' Does anyone have any idea what RLM they might be refering to? It's not Schwartzgrau, that's on the list elsewhere for different items.

I have to excavate again tomorrow, there's a carton missing and three possible subjects for the 1000 Roadwheels GB are in it!

Cheers,

Mike/TB379

Hi Frank --

Thanks! Yes, the 'Engine Gray' certainly sounds close -- go with 66? Easily done, especially as I still need to pick up 66 for the Go 229 that's been waiting to get off the apron the last few weeks.

I'm looking forward to building the K-4! I need some stuff from Squadron, canopy masks and such, some warload for my Corsair, so I'll see if I can tag on masks for the Karl, possibly TD wheels, and see what decals are on offer too.

Cheers,

Mike

Looks like we've generated a lot of interest for this GB, should be excellent, however....

I promised myself I was not going to do any more fighters after the two Doras on the bench were finished until I got some twin engine stuff done, so much for that plan.  You're an evil man, sir.

Scott- Welcome aboard!  I added your build to page 1.

Guy- Excellent choice mate!  I expect you'll have yours in the paint shop by the end of the weekend.
