Messerschmitt BF109 GB 2012

Oops, Hans, was that you?  Rick

That's got me thinking Hans (seeing that paint scheme/marking on #7), I have an "A" version by Classic Airframes I picked up from a LHS,  I'd been holding on to that one until my skills were honed better but man I'd love to build it.

Add me to the list...Tamiya 1/48 BF 109 E 3

Jawohl...

I'm in with a academy 1/48 109D-1, going to do it in german splinter camo from 1939.

An update... Looks like the F2 I'm planning will be the Zvezda F2 in 48. Looks like a heck of a kit! Not sure yet what configuration. Might just do a simple dio... Marking TBD but definitely a trop...

Here is something I found that might be of some use:

I'm actually about 50% of the way through a 109 build right now, but it's irritating me to the point that I'll likely do another one for this GB after I finish a P-47 for Doogs.  The Eduard 1/32 E-4/7 'Balkans' special edition looks great on paper, but the kit is a fitting disaster compared to anything I've built from Hasegawa or Trumpeter.

I've got the highly regarded Hasegawa 1/32 F-4 Trop in the stash, and I send the box longing looks as I struggle through the issues this Eduard kit has.

Oh I know I'll have at least one to throw into this GB, sign me up, kit not yet identified! It may come down to "how much time do I have left"...

Im still figuring out which paint scheme I am going to do, got my BF109 walkaround book today in the mail and I see one I like but its going to need some tweaking to my liking. Wont be historically accurate but I hope it turns out pretty good....

Dayum... The Monogram Me109Es are going pretty high on Ebay.. Too high for this Enemy Ace...

Might have to re-think my kit-choice...

I'm in. This would be my first group build, actually my first posting of a model ever... 

I'm going with the 1:48 Zvezda BF-109F-2. Markings will be JG 2's Yellow 8 flown by Fw. Heinz Jahner.

Current count is at 19 people in... Anymore takers? About a week and two days till the build off starts! 

this will be my first GB also. 

The local hobby store just got a shipment of Tamiya paint so in light of this build I bought all the paint needed.

I also almost bought the 109 that Kurt is going to build, but it was too expensive at the store, maybe in July I will go back and grab it and build two, who knows!

I used this as a guide to paint a 109 this last summer.  I think it is pretty accurate and you might get some inspiration

After I finish my 69 Z28/RS I'll be doing a 1/24 Airfix BF109E3 or 4. Done right these are decent kits.

Well, I ain't paying 50 bucks for the Monogram 109, so I'll do the 1/48 Revell kit...

i did the k-4 on the bottom of that page a few months ago

Very nice indeed!

Just picked this up at my LHS for $16.

I'll still do an F in Heinz Bar's markings from Russia.

Nathan T. Great job on the 109. Nice bird!

Could you post some pics??  I know the Trump kit isn't really a F-4 so I'm gonna have to do some mods to the rudder ,wheel bays, and intakes ,,as well a fuel intake placement,,,from what i've read its more like a G variant than a true F-4,,,but I like a challenge so I figured I'd give the Trump kit a whirl,,,,hope it wasn't a mistake,,,,,

yeah, the shop owner told me about the trump kit. he was thinking they boxed a G-6 with F-4 box art. 

oh yeah, i can have shots for you. if you have the chance to grab one, do it. its a beauty.

Thanks Randyp,,,, Actually the box even shows the wrong squared wheel bays for an F-4,,it kind of drew me too it,,,, I have a pretty good idea what i'm gonna do to correct it,,,seems kinda dumb having to convert a plane variant to what its supposed to be oob    ,,,,,I guess I'm everything they said I would be in grade school     ,,,,some pics will be a great guide so thanks in advance,,,,,,,,,, can't wait to see them !!

I think Hans had the right idea,,,I shudda stuck to my old standby,,, Monogram,,,,,
