2015 Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build

I'm planning on this one, with various AM. From there, TBD, but I definitely want to do more than one 109 next year!

The hardest part about doing any of this is just coming up with a plan.  I have lucked out that I have developed one, it is simple, and I can repeat it when I need to.  Anyone can do the same.  

Joe

Man the level of detail you bring to the table is just amazing Joe. I built one of these things a couple of years ago and couldn't imagine putting this amount of effort into it. Lookin' good buddy.

Well I am on the list so I guess I am still ok, right?  

With the rate I am going though not sure I will ever finish.  After all, two months and I am still working on a wing.  

A current picture to show where I am.  And yes I finally glued some pieces together.

Still a lot to do to this before I can call the wing complete.  

There I am, I figure by Jan I should be close to having the flaps, rudder, and tail feathers framed out.  I should fall into the acceptable progress part of this build.

Joe

It's nothing but good. I just bought "Unbroken" and my wife stole that one from me to read first!!

Totally awesome footage of an Emil. Really make my heart pound. Plus great music score from Tron Legacy.

Thanks for that link. Its great to see a real 109 in the air, there are just not enough of them.

Really looking forward to that one joe. I need to start reading the book.

I might be in for my HobbyCraft Bf109C-1 as well depending on where I am with my G-6.

Cool beans Jay. Thanks for the kind help.

Nice choice, Joe. I am looking forward to it. If anyone else is looking for decals, please let me know. I would be happy to donate them to a good cause.

Jay

Hey Jay. I certainly appreciate the offer for the decals but I do have something in mind. I'll be going with "Yellow 2" flown by Franz Stigler. I'm sure you've probably read the book , "A Higher Call" by now. It's a great story and takes a while to go over but You Tube has a small video that sums everything up if you type in A Higher Call in the search criteria. Anyways I have a decal sheet from Kits World that also has decals for the B-17 "Ye Olde Pub". 

If you guys don't have it , this pic depicting Stiglers encounter with "Ye Olde Pub"  below makes for some awesome wall paper:

Hey Joe, have you thought about what scheme you are going to do? I have a boatload of 1/48 decals that I will probably never use. Let me know if there is something you are looking for.

Jay

I agree Bish... Impressive line up thus far... More to come I'm sure!

Finally got my colors down, 70-71-02-65. Some of the record keeping is so blasted confusing, but after studying the IPMS Luftwaffe RLM listings for the time period and the Nowi/Luftcam index, they both agree on the period camo colors. So, thats out of the way...Now just choosing the markings...

Doug

Do you have any plans regarding the color scheme? There are some pretty nice ones included in the box IMO

I might throw in another one painted as option H if I have enough time on my hands...

Thanks Clemens!

Well he never really told me what he planned to build ...

Gonna add you right away, Joe!

Glad to be part of the group. I couldn't say no to Joe after he tracked me down over on LSP.

Jack... Man... Thank you for the detailed explanation!  That will be very helpful! Again... Many Thanks!

Doug

Got it changed!

Let's go with the F-4, assuming it shows up from Hong Kong. Thanks for the warm welcome! Glad to be part of the group. I couldn't say no to Joe after he tracked me down over on LSP.

Jay

Hey, the 109 master is here! Nice to have you join us!

Do you want me to put you down with that F-4 or as TBA?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuco's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see you Tuco!  

OK Joe, I'm in. Not sure what I will build. I do have a few to choose from. Too bad it doesn't start today as I just started a Trumpy G-10. I have a Hasegawa F-4 on the way from Hong Kong so it will probably be that, plus I haven't built an F in 1/32.

Jay

Doug, I guess it depends on what is meant by direct link (for me it's not a quick one click and done).   There might be a quicker way, but I'll lay out the steps (using the 109 Gb logo as an example), and let you decide if it looks simple enough.

-----------------------------------------------

After you upload your image, click it so it is isolated on the screen, as so:

1. - on the bottom right, there is four icons, click the right most one (arrow pointing down)

2. - a popup with options appears for viewing sizes, click the last one 'View all sizes".

------------------------------------

This brings up a new screen where you can choose your image size.  The original size is set as default.

3. -put cursor over image and right click, a box of options pops up, click "View image info"

-----------------------------------------

A smaller window opens to provide the link text:

4. - the link text is already highlighted, simply place cursor over this and right click to copy.  Now you are ready to paste to the forums here or where ever.

regards,

Jack

That Finnish job looks cool Clemens.
