Brandon and Bruce: Lookin' forward to it. A GB is a great way to improve skills. I came to this forum knowing just enough to be dangerous and still am to some extent but I've learned alot of things along the way.

I am going to do the spinner as it is on the box, just not sure if I will go for a more intricate white spiral or keep it simple.

That's the one!!!!!!!!!!  That is going to be one very cool build!  Are you going to do the engines spinner to match Hans-Joachim Marseille plane or do it like it is on the box?

Eagle, you mean this one. Big Smile

Phil, o don't worry, I have enough 72nd kits to last me a life time. I have been gathering a select number of 32nd aircraft kits for a few years now, just been waiting for the chance to build one.

 

Brandon, you can't go far wrong selecting one of Mustang's GB for your first. If only half of the guys from the 190 GB show up, it's going to be another cracker.

I have a Tamiya E model 1/48 that I can build and by the time this starts things will be slowing for me so I would love to make this GB my first. And it will give me a chance to learn a great deal from all the experienced builders as well.

Well, might as well say what I am building. I will be doing my first ever 1/32nd build for this, hasegawa Bf 109F-4. The kit comes with markings for 4 aircraft flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille, I will probably do the aircraft he was flying in early Sept 42.

But i will be starting off with this little gem which arrived last week.

I like the idea of this one, and I have lots of kits to choose from.  But I can't quite commit yet since I have a pretty big GB load already.  I'll have to play the "wait and see" game for this one.

Hey mate, I'm still in as your co-host. My plan was to build Hasegawa's big G-6 in JG300 markings, but after having a close look at that Eduard Royal Class, I'm not too sure about that anymore... I hope I can squeeze in both, but I'm not that sure about that 'cause there's lots of AM stuff in my drawer for that Hasegawa bird...

You can put me down for the Eduard (OK Academy) 109 E, I think its the Balkan edition in 1/32 if this takes off. As I'll be down to one GB by then

MMMM, going to have to think about this one.

 

Ye, right who am I kidding. I missed the past 109 GB's. Interesting that you mention sections of 109 can be included. I just might have a kit that will fit that. Whistling
