I was chatting around with a small number of folks in the last couple of months about the possibility of hosting another Group Build and the positive feed back was such that it prompted me to throw out a feeler for a GB starting on January 1st of 2015. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who contributed to the success of the Butcher Bird Group Build which is now in its final stages and thus has lead me to host another possible Group Build on one of the worlds most well known aircraft, the Messerschmitt Bf109. The last 109 GB here was started three years ago with pzl66 hosting and was where I got my start at FSM. I've had a complete blast ever since getting back into modeling this time around with a great group of people.
The Group Build will be scheduled to last for one year and the rules, which will be formally posted in January, are laid back and simple with the biggest rule being that the particiapants are to be encouraging and have fun.
Any Bf109 variant of any scale can be entered to include sections of 109's, i.e. Nose/engine sections and Instrument panels as there are a couple of model kits devoted to these sections. Crossovers are invited to join in as are started builds (you guys know the deal-limit it to fuselage halves put together).
With that, let me hear your thoughts on this and if enough are interested we'll come up with a badge from somewhere and get this thing in the works.

MMMM, going to have to think about this one.
Ye, right who am I kidding. I missed the past 109 GB's. Interesting that you mention sections of 109 can be included. I just might have a kit that will fit that.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

You can put me down for the Eduard (OK Academy) 109 E, I think its the Balkan edition in 1/32 if this takes off. As I'll be down to one GB by then

Bish:Looking forward to see what youre bringing to the table.
P Mitch:This'll be good. I used to not like the E's so much............but theyre growin' on me!
Although catching a TON of flak from builders, I'm going to bring this bad boy to the table.
Hey Mustang, this sounds like a cool GB! Count me in. Not sure which 109 I'll do yet, but I'd like to get in on this one! Thanks.

It would be a pleasure to have you in on this one Eagle!
Hey mate, I'm still in as your co-host. My plan was to build Hasegawa's big G-6 in JG300 markings, but after having a close look at that Eduard Royal Class, I'm not too sure about that anymore... I hope I can squeeze in both, but I'm not that sure about that 'cause there's lots of AM stuff in my drawer for that Hasegawa bird...
SchattenSpartanHey mate, I'm still in as your co-host.
As far as the Royal Class kit.....................bring it brutha!
Yeah sorry for that (very short) delay man. I got a lot of stuff going on here ATM, but everything will be back to normal tomorrow
Not quite committed whole hog just yet but, you can mark me down as heavily tentative.

I like the idea of this one, and I have lots of kits to choose from. But I can't quite commit yet since I have a pretty big GB load already. I'll have to play the "wait and see" game for this one.

It's all good Jim. Would love to have you if you can make a slot for it dude!
Well, might as well say what I am building. I will be doing my first ever 1/32nd build for this, hasegawa Bf 109F-4. The kit comes with markings for 4 aircraft flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille, I will probably do the aircraft he was flying in early Sept 42.
But i will be starting off with this little gem which arrived last week.
Atta boy cheecho!! Gotta let tha big dog eat!!! Good lookin' kits Bish!
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bish is going big on two accounts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my! What's the world coming too!?!?!?!
Great looking kits Bish. Can't wait to see that engine!
Eagle90Can't wait to see that engine!
mustang1989 Eagle90Can't wait to see that engine! That's what I was sayin'!!!
LOL! He showed me a pic of the nose next to a 1/32 nose! Nothing small about that kit! It is very impressive!
Bish
you know what they say - once you go big you never go back
Welcome to the worl of 1/32
I have a Tamiya E model 1/48 that I can build and by the time this starts things will be slowing for me so I would love to make this GB my first. And it will give me a chance to learn a great deal from all the experienced builders as well.

A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!

Eagle, you mean this one.
Phil, o don't worry, I have enough 72nd kits to last me a life time. I have been gathering a select number of 32nd aircraft kits for a few years now, just been waiting for the chance to build one.
Brandon, you can't go far wrong selecting one of Mustang's GB for your first. If only half of the guys from the 190 GB show up, it's going to be another cracker.
That's the one!!!!!!!!!! That is going to be one very cool build! Are you going to do the engines spinner to match Hans-Joachim Marseille plane or do it like it is on the box?
I am going to do the spinner as it is on the box, just not sure if I will go for a more intricate white spiral or keep it simple.
LOL! You are going big already! Go for the spiral! Do it!!!!!!!
Count me in on this one mustang! I'm not sure which version 109 yet, but I'll let you know when the official GB starts.

LOL, I have ben looking at a few G-6 spinners. I am currently thinking about doing either Hartmann's or Barkhorn's, would be nice to do one from a known aircraft.
Brandon and Bruce: Lookin' forward to it. A GB is a great way to improve skills. I came to this forum knowing just enough to be dangerous and still am to some extent but I've learned alot of things along the way.
Eagle90 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bish is going big on two accounts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my! What's the world coming too!?!?!?! Great looking kits Bish. Can't wait to see that engine! Eagle90
Meh, This will be miniscule compared to the mass hysteria that will erupt when Joe builds something in 1/72.

Are you sure the universe is ready for that.
