2015 Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build

Brandon it was not FSM.  It was in Model Aircraft Magazine.  July edition.

Greg the engine is outstanding.

Joe

Lookin good Greg...

Doug

Hey all, sorry I haven't been posting much, but I am still lurking via email, and I have a few minutes now, so I had to log on and say that I was just amazed at some of the work going on, in particular Joe's cutaway.

Joe - that is simply stunning. What magazine is it in? I didn't see it in FSM, but maybe I missed an issue? In any case, that is gorgeous, and gives me even more appreciation for these planes.

Great work, all!

-BD-

That engine looks good to me Greg.

Freekin' cool Greg!!!! Nice DB so far!!!

It looks amazing Greg. Without all the extra bits I added yours should fit better and more easily. Looking forward to it.

Quick update: not quite up to you guys-es powerplant super-detailing, but it's about ready to attach to the firewall/gun mount assy.

Yeah I caught that.  Edited my post.  Long day, not enough sleep.

Joe

Mustang build...?

M/TB379

Stang thanks.  

Joe

I really admire your humility Joe. You seem to be as good of a person as you are a modeler and I'm glad you were a part of this GB. Looking forward to more conversation here with you bud.

You may be right but for now I am content to do what I am doing.  

Joe

Joe, I know we are all our own worst critics, but that build really is something to be proud of and if I was the contest type, I would put that in one in a heart beat.

Doug, thanks for the vote of confidence. Just going to grab a brew, and then I will start cutting some plastic.

You see more wrong than another eye would. You should give it a shot just for fun. You never know....

I rivit count my own work to death.  I see too much wrong to enter a comp.  

Joe

fightnjoe

 I doubt I would ever enter a competition.  I see too much wrong with my work.

  You need to check again buddy Joe. It's good enough.

Many many thanks all.  You are very kind.

Stang I have my Pearl build next.  After that I will be attempting a P-51D in 1/32 as a cut away.

Allen no worries there.  I doubt I would ever enter a competition.  I see too much wrong with my work.

Again many many thanks.  

Joe

Bish... Long over due my friend! With the detail you can pack into a 72nd scale, You should REALLY knock this one out! Looking forward to the WIP.

Moose... I've seen pictures of Night Fighter 109s but will enjoy seeing this one taking shape.

Fightin Joe Man, as always... Excellent job in the nth degree!!! And congrats on a much deserved write up!

Doug

fightnjoe- Uuuuuummmmmmmmmm.............I hope I don't have to compete against you at a contest!

fightnjoe- 

Fightnjoe, pretty much at a loss for words. Stunning work, brilliant craftsmanship.

Moose: Great progress on the D model. I have taken a liking to these early 109s as of late.

Joe: Magnificent finish!!! That is stunning indeed sir! What do you have in store as far as builds go next?? Jeez man I can't get over the way this one looks!!!  Got anything among these you want for a pic for the intro post?

Joe, that is stunning. That's some amount of work gone into that and its more than paid off.

Very kind.  Thank you.

Joe

Awesome! I know how much work goes into major conversion and it's a tribute to craftsmanship to pull it off!

M/TB379

Fightnjoe,

I thought that was this 109 in the Magazine! I'd go pull it out, but it's packed for moving. Great job on the build, and great job getting published!

Great work Joe.  I love it.  Can't wait to see your chow hound.

moose

Well the mag has been out for about a month. 

Here are some pics of the finished cut away 109.







Many thanks for all the very kind comments. 




Joe

Bish. 1/what????? This is going to be a blast to follow indeed. Glad you see you stepping out of your box, or into a bigger one, or whatever.

Moose, welcome back to your bench. No evidence of all the filling, sanding, and re-scoring which to me is a always a very good sign.
