About bloody time, I have been checking in all day for this.

Check no more friend. I finally had the time after finishing that Corsair for Clemens GB.

Ok, to get the ball rolling, here are some pics of the builds I will be doing. First up will be the HPH 1/18th bf 109G DB 605 engine.

And here is a couple of pics of the contents. 2 large bags of resin parts which look very nice. And a CD with the instructions on.

And from top left, a small decal sheet with markings for serial numbers and a nice PE nameplate. A small PE fret. A selection of wire and shrinkable rubber and finally a small Belgian Chocolate which I will be saving until the end.

There is also a stand which had to be purchased separately but is pretty essential, though I don't have a pic of that.  

And for those who may be wondering how big it is, here is the spinner next to a 32nd 109 spinner.

And for a second build I will be doing my first ever 32nd aircraft. Hasegawa's Bf 109F-4/Trop.

Roll on 2015. 

GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!! Right outta tha gate man! Cool! I like it!

GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!! Right outta tha gate man! Cool! I like it! 

No flies on this call sign. I am itching to do that engine. I am even going to break my rule of one build at a time. I plan on staring it on day one and spending 1 or 2 nights a week on the engine while doing other builds.

Hey Mustang...you cans till count me in!  The badges are awesome and the GB is a smash already!  Will let you know which kit I'm doing....as soon as I figure it out!  

Eagle90

Bish, that engine is going to be one eye catching display piece, and I also look forward to your tackling of  Hasegawa's 1/32 kit.

---------------------------------------

I haven't decided on my exact kit yet, (either Airfix or Eduard), but it definitely will be a 1/48 scale E-4 during the Battle of Britain time frame.  It is a project I wanted to do for a few years now, as a dog fight double to the Spitfire Mk.I built in 2012.

It should look something like this, barring any further research changes;

regards,

Jack

I just picked up the 1/32 Revell BF109 G-6 for $30 and the Tamiya 1/48 E-3 for $20 at my local shop. I just can't deal with a supercharger intake that's not round. Should be interesting and I'm not sure which to start first. Gotta finish this U-boat by January!

I'm still in for the Eduard 1/32 BF109E from the limited edition Balkan set. I only have three GB's to finish before the end of the year so this should be a nice start to next year!

Phil

I'm in. Sooo in. Super in. I'm sure I'll be building a 1/48 scale, but kit manufacturer and version are TBD.

Ooh, it's finally up! Nice to see this GB being completely official now!

My projects are going to be two G-6: One of the new Eduard 109s in Finnish markings and the good ol' Hasegawa bird in 1/32.

Now if a forum admin could make it so I can actually edit the 2nd post (build list and completed builds) or move this post to the 3rd place, that would be great! It's a wee bit hard to do my job as a co-host otherwise...

Here's my offering.

The Academy 1/48 Avia S-199 "Israeli Knife". A Czechoslovakian built Bf-109G-6 which used the Junkers Jumo 211 instead of the 109's Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. Most of the 605's were destroyed during an explosion at a warehouse in Krásné Březno

Ok here I am.  

My humble entry is...

1/24 Trumpeter 109G-10.  This is going to be an indepth construction with a lot of added stuff.  And very little of that will be aftermarket.  

It was begun in September, the thread is.....

Here is my entry. Zvezda F-4, resin cockpit and a decal sheet to fit the Russian front winter paint scheme. I may add some other resin bits as well. Hoping to pose this one with cowls open.

Folks I have the build roster under way and plan on transitioning the second post over to SchattenSparten to co-host.

I will have to say that I have never heard of the S-119 before modelcrazy. The research on this subject should be fun as I love to gain knowledge on the 109 subject.

I will be posting my kit choice soon.

Hey Mustang, put me down for 1/48 Hasegawa 109G-2:

We'll be on the lookout for you Allen!

We'll do 'er there hogfanfs!

Glad to have you both in here fellas.

I'd say I'm ready Joe.........

I'd say you're correct ruddratt! Wow!  You're in dude!

Still on for this 1/32 G-10. I'm ready. Got the AM and paint for several 109s. Later on, perhaps a 1/32 E-4 with a "surprise" scheme. Maybe even that 1/4 Eduard Dash. I'll just commit to the G-10 for now and then ride the waves from there!

Allen109, hogfanfs, ruddratt and panzerpilot. You all are now entered in the intro. Looking forward to your builds.

Some really nice looking choices here.

Mike, I will be interested to see how you get on with those RB sets, I have the 2 for the 109F.

Hey Mustang,

Decided to pull this oldie but goodie out of the stash for the GB.  It's an Otaki (#OT2-25-500)  Bf 109G.  Not sure of the year.  No dates on any of the paperwork, box, or pieces.  If anyone has any info on this kit, please let me know.  Not familiar with Otaki at all.  This is one of many I got at an estate sale!

Eagle90

That looks like a good one for the build. I've never heard of this one.

                                   ************Newsflash*************

Okee dokee folks. I'm going to make a swift change. I'll be PM'ing everybody who posted here. Clemens is my co-host for this GB and I've tried seeing if the Staff could change my second post to his (Schattenspartans) post so he could handle the build roster and pic posting. That can't happen so I've got the build roster copied and before this thing gets any more involved, I'm going to start a new thread so I can get him on board. I'll be PM'ing all the participants to let them know about the change and to post their build contribution pics to the new thread. It'll be a little bit of work but Hang tight gang and we'll get this thing under way. Give me a day or so and we'll get it all ironed out.

Oh... Alright... By the by... I'm starting with one of my beloved old MatchBox kits (37 yrs old) in 1/32. It will be a 109E3 of 3/Jg54 probably white 2 of the Balkan campaign 1940, pilot unknown.

Eagle... Otaki kits are quite nice and fairly well detailed although sparse in the pit area... Nothing a good pe set wouldnt help. They were basic kits, made from sometime in the mid 80s into the early 90s. They are related to the Arii kits and realy only failed due to poor distribution. The man who started the company (in Japan) was determined to produce the best kit possible for the modest cost, and after several start up "Bumps" he did just that. Again, a poor distribution network caused the downfall of the company, not the product.
