Bish

MMM, let me think about this. German aircraft, late war. I think i might be able to find something. Big Smile

Just to be clear, does this have to be something that entered service?

 

That'd be really cool to have you on board Bish! Now that you mention it, and I didn't cover it, but no it doesn't have to be anything that entered service. Ho-229's and Natters and aircraft like those are just fine.

Glad to be on bord. Looks like I missed the 109 to bad I have quite a few of them.

Do project aircraft that where just pre production work. And what about planed models like ta52 c or planed late model fw-190 torpedo planes.

Real planes just models they didn't have time to get 2. But was planed. Because we start to get into the what if 1946 aircraft ?

Hey there Mustang I would be up for a build or two.

I haven't got involved since the 190 gb you hosted few yrs back.I have plenty of late war kits in the stash.

Too Little-Too Late Group Build Feeler
Posted by mustang1989 on Friday, January 6, 2017 5:34 PM

 

Ok  everybody. I’ve been giving the idea of another aviation based group build a long thought over the past couple of weeks. The last one that I ran was the 2015 Bf109 GB and I didn’t finish anything for it so I kind of dropped out of the aircraft realm for a while……until recently with my Arado 234 . I was almost not going to run one at all this year but rooster513 (Andy)  came out from nowhere and asked to co-host one with me and it kind of spurred me on some. At first we talked about a Bf109 GB but we’ve had that and then another 190 GB but we’ve had that too. I’ve been on a late war jet craze this last year so I figured a GB that would center itself around any German aircraft around the last of the war when all the really crazy ideas seemed to flourish with the Luftwaffe. Things like the Ta-152, Fw190 V-18’s , Bf109 K’s , Me262 and 163’s and most anything that went in the air that was either a later model or a new design starting in 1944 and on through war’s end in early 1945. To me and Andy it seemed like a good idea so we thought we’d throw together a Group Build Feeler to see what the interest was. If we get enough feedback we’ll start a Group Build out of called “The Too Little-Too Late GB” or something of the sort.

 

 Subjects would be anything, fighter OR bomber, of the Luftwaffe’s later model mainstream aircraft (109’s-190’s …etc) to some of the more advanced prop or jet designs. The GB would run one full year to give everyone enough time to complete their builds. I’ve been pretty flexible with this in my GB’s towards the end of the year to keep the GB open long enough to let everyone finish after the deadline.

 

With that, Andy and I would like to hear what you guys thoughts are on this in regards to interest in participating in something like this. This time round I think I’ll be able to finish one anyways. Wink
