Darren,  Count me in,  I'd like to put together a Tamiya 1/48 Me 109E.  I've got the correct markings for a BoB aircraft.  Thanks.   Rick.

Hey there Rich and Welcome Sign to the build.

I really like your choice of kit, everything I have read online it's supposed to be the best 109E available in any scale.  I'll be interested to see how it comes together.

Cheers

EDIT

Forgot to mention, nobody has volunteered for the 1/32 Ju-88 as yet, although that really would be an impressive entry if anybody is interested.

Just took a look at page 1, and did a tally for each side:

RAF 13

Luftwaffe 20

Still in keeping with the spirit of the BoB!

Interesting how the use of orthographic film in the original pic renders the yellow nose dark like a red.

Thanks for the comments on the lil' Emil by the way, it's Tamiya's 1/72 offering.

I know what you mean Karl, it's quite amazing isn't it.  That's the reason I included the photo from Duxford to show the actual colors on the nose of the bird.

Guten abend mein herr & what ho chaps, I just wanted to let you know that I've updated the roster with everyone's builds so if yours is wrong or missing just let me know.

Also I thought I might share what I plan on building for this GB, it's a crash scene featuring a 109 that has come down in the Sussex countryside more or less under control.

Apparently the airframe was used for propaganda purposes and did a tour of the US before it was saved from the scrapheap by restorers.

Thanks Karl, somtimes you've got to go head down and bum up to get things done.

Ok everyone I've done a bit of work on the badges and here's what I've come up with so far.  If anybody else wants to try their hand at a badge then be my guest.

As usual there are two badges, one for the Luftwaffe and one for the RAF, so use which ever one you want.

Cheers

Big apology from me on my lack of appearances here guys, it's been a hellish couple of weeks at work but hopefully a little less frantic now.

I'll go back through the last couple of pages of posts and pick up any adds or changes to the roster later on this afternoon.

Cheers all

Andrew, that was my Revell of Germanys old kit in 1/72. Been in the stash for a long time. Not a bad kit some detail was oversized but the fit was good
