Welcome to the 2021 Messerschmitt MBB Group Build. As the name suggest, its open to subjects produced, wholly or partly by the Messerschmitt company and those produced by the MBB company which was created in 1968 with the merger of Messerschmitt, Bollkow and HFB.
Subject can include those designed and built by BFW from 1927 when Willy Messerschmitt joined the company, so early Bf 109's and other subjects are included.
And the GB is not only open to aircraft. After the war the company turned to makeing motorsycles. And, in their factory, a company set up by Fritz Fend built cars, commonly known as bubble cars.
After the formation of MBB, the company produced its own aircraft as well as joining partnerships in building a number of aircraft. They also produced missiles and spacecraft, includeing spacelad.
Any project the company took part in until it became defunct in 1989 can be included. Anything built by Airbus after this date is also allowed.
