Battle of Britain GB 2006 - 1 May to 31 Oct 06

not that a p-51 would ever have chased a bf-109E

Nice work though, and nice save on the gear doors.  

We'll I couldn't get the glue to work out right, Im going to try it again.  Put now its hanging in my basement, and "A P-51 is right behind it"

Thanks Marc, I appreciate it, now to get building some models.

FeldMarschall Model  Your 109 looks great

Thanks Darson, and now Im finlly done with my Me-109 E3.  One question, what kinda wire or sting do you guys us for the radio line on the back of the aircraft, and how do I put it on?  This is by far the best looking aircraft I've put together to date, and I sprayed some glosscoat on the canopy.

Hey there guys,

First of all sorry I haven't been around at all for most of this build but my work commitments late last year just went through the roof. I don’t think I actually sat down at the work bench from about October through till past Christmas.  I am only now just starting to do some modeling again and getting some time to get back on line.

Daniel, (FeldMarSchall Model) nice clean looking 109, you did a really good recovery job on that little oops.

Cheers

Darren 

Well I've just about got it done, I finished all decals today it took forever.  And painted both landing gear doors, and are finishing up painting the canopy.

All thats left is last touchs of the pilot. 

Hay thanks razordws, this is one of the mistakes I made

"Look at the landing gear door" 

Its to late now. 

Fieldmarshall,  Good looking 109.   Still have not finished my Fiat Br 20 yet

 I just picked up a Potez 631 the other day so if the Battle of France happens I am ready!

I need an excuse to get my Char B1 bis on the workbench

I know this might be a little to late but, Im almost done with mine lol.  I did make some mistakes that I'll be better at not makeing next time .

A BOF GB???????

Battle of France?  That does sound interesting!

Tried looking up a few sites to see what aircraft took part, here is a list of fighters and the link to the article that I got it from.

soon i hope. How about a battle of france GB? I think that might be a cool idea. The first battle of france that is. The one practically without any battles...

Hmmm.. .might be interesting, early 109s, Stukas, a few German bi-planes, Do-17, He111 etc. and some out of the ordinary French planes and some other oddball stuff.  The Battle for France was over so fast though... 

Speaking of which, my daughter sent me a text message from her French class yesterday stating how bored she was.  I replied to her and said "You're half German, use this time to plot the next conquest of France...."  She thought that was pretty funny (no offense meant to the French, by the way).

Nice builds guys.

So when does the next BoB GB start?

Karl 

Better late than never, I finally made an end of it, it's about time.  Anyway, here she is in all her glory.  I used the Hasegawa kit, about 5 different decal sets, eduard PE, resin control surfaces (I think they were CMK, but really can't remember) and some other odds and ends.  My apologies for the photo.  Can't wait for next year, already planning the Stuka.  Unless of course my itch for taking on the 1/48 He 111 gets the best of me, so many little details to add to that baby... 

Cheers to all, it was a blast!

Dave looks super, great job
