I'm in if you'll have me. Not sure what I'll start with but I have several 109s and a Revell Tornado that I've been procrastinating about.  Also, an Eduard 110 and a started 108. Looking forward to this.

The Special Hobby 109E is apparently based on acquired CAD drawings from Eduard's 1/48 Emil (which had originally been a 1/32 release).  There is some concern that it will inherit the same dimensional issues that had been created by Eduard.  So far I've not seen SH state anything about this. 

I've tried superimposing one profile illustration over the other from each company brand,  and there does seem to be minor variations along the entire length of the fuselage.  Though someone has posted that the wing slats still appear to be too deep by about 30%.

 

regards,

Jack

If the Emil and 1/72 are your thing, Special Hobby has announced a future release:

Whoa is it me or does 100 replies on a GB feeler mean something special is going to happen with the GB
 

We can hope. Bf 109 GB's are always popular, so hopefully that will carry on here.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Question about the Airbus.  I have in the stash both the A320 and A340 - would either qualify for the GB?

Jack

Steve, yes it is. I myself will be doing a Eurofighter Typhoon.

Remember guys, there is also the MBB subjects.

I am off work for a week from the 16th, so will be able to find some time to sort out the badges for both Gbs and get them posted.

 

I'm Beginning to think 2021 might be the year of the Messerschmitt MBB Eurofighter Airbus. 

I'm starting with the Me210 but I've got so many others that would fit within.  Might even finish that Me262 Mistel I have

I've got two in line for this at the moment.  I'm starting from the beginning.  I have built two 109's in the past that I know of, both the Monogram E.

I'm really....really giving this one some thought Martin. It's been a while since I built an aircraft let alone a Messerschmitt and I've really been jonesing to build another bird.....hopefully with some newer skills.

I believe you got me this one a few years back for Christmas was it? 

 

 

Ye, i think your right there.

Bish, I'm going to build the 410 however, looking through the links provided, is an Airbus acceptable?

I feel like this is a safe space, so I think I can make an admission.

I don't have a Messerschmitt in the stash...

 

 

 

Heretic!

 

I know right?? LOL!! 80% of my stash is now made up of auto kits and I've got 3 Messerschmitts with one of those being a Royal Class Eduard kit that contains 2 kits. With that being said I guess I've got 4. 

Just funnin' lostagain. Hope you can join in with a kit pal.

Just for kicks I counted how many Messerschmitts I had in the stash last night.  Turns out I have 19! Half of them are Me 262's.  Whistling I'll see how the new year shapes up but I think I could find something to do for this build.

I need a moment of quiet reflection to think about this! I see the words but the message just isn't registering! Big Smile
