Thanks Bish and Gamera. Yes the kit has a couple of very cool looking schemes. I like the Afrikabraun with Dunkelgrun blotches, of 5./Lehrgeschwader 1, Eleusis, Greece March 1942. The other scheme is the box art with the standard splinter camo that was stationed in Cicilia, Italy.

Thanks Bish, I've been looking around and formatting a plan of attack. Looks like I may end up replacing the kit decals. But at least now I know what paint I should be picking up. 

PJ: Ohhhhhhhh, that looks cool! 

Now i have rounded up my builds for the year, had a chance to update next years GB's. Roster is updated, if i am missing anything, please let me know.

waikong, who's Ju 52 kit is that.

Gamera, that scheme looks similar to the late war nighfighters, which were RLM 76 with 75 mottling. But given thats a bomber and looking at the pattern, i;m thinking more of 76 over the standard splinter scheme. But thats an unusual one for a bomber.

PJ, look forward to seeing that. I'm going to build the same kit when i do the 32nd A-1, though i am not putting the A-4 into the GB. I do like German aircraft with those Balkan markings.

Bish Please enter me with a Revell 1/72 Ju88A4.

I pulled the kit out and was looking though it to see what paint I needed and just great- Dragon doesn't give paint names and numbers but only how to mix them with Gunze paint. I have the interior paint I need so I won't need it for a month or two but I'd like to have the exterior colours on hand. I can look it up but figured someone would know the two topside colours off the top of their head? 

I have the 1/48 ju52, but where can I put it after its finished? The box was a lot bigger than I had thought it would be.

Will do AA. I have the revell boxing of that kit and am keen on seeing how it builds.

Hey Bish, I'd like to add another entry (in addition to my Me-262).  I just took delivery of a 1/72 scale Italeri kit of a Ju-87 B2 Stuka, so I'll be doing that, too.

Glad to have you on board Tony.

Hi Bish,

I'm in for this one too. If I can get a civil version of the Ju 86, then I'll do that, but it can be hard to get. If not, I'm leaning towards a Ju 52.

Cheers

Tony

That's exceptional news mate. I've been looking forward to building it since I got it a couple months ago.

Will do Steve. I actually like the Dragon 234, i had no major issues with mine. I did wire up the IP as the rear can be seen through the canopy, that was a bit tricky. I often hear negative remarks about Dragon 72nd aircraft, most of which date from the early 90's. But i have built a few and have not had any major issues with any of them. I did the B-2b recon version, the same kit you have and i have 4 more of their 234's in the stash. I might try and fit one into this GB myself if time allows.

Actually, could you replace the HE 111 for the DML 1/72 AR-234 B2. I'll keep the 111 for a possable Heinkel GB in the future.

Reading a review of the DML 234 kit, it's not the friendliest kit, needing some major gap filling and bad canopy fit, but workable. 

The 262 is perfect. The He 162 used a BMW engine. It was the Ar 234 that also used the Jumo. I'll get the 262 on the list.

Ah, thanks Bish, I forgot about the Jumo 004 engine.  In that case I have either a Me-262 or He-162 I can build.  I think I'll start with the Me-262 (Hobby Boss, 1/48 scale), and if I finish it, I may go ahead and do the He-162 later.

Cool, put 'er down

Thats correct Steve. I got was slightly in error when i said they had jumo's from the E version. I got confused because the he 111 variants jump from F to J then P and finally H. Buth the E and H had Jumo's, the other types had diferent make sof engines. Of course that kit can be built as a P or H.

I have this. Apperently the P was powered by the DB whereas the H was Jumo powered.

What do you think? Either that or I can get an 88 or 87 or even a Tante Ju 

I'm sure you guys can find somthing. And remember, it doesn't need to say Ju 0n the box. An Me 262 or early Bf 109 or 110 will work. The He 111 from the E onwards had Jumo engines amongst others.

Count me in, Bish. I actually have ZERO kits of Junkers subjects in the stash, so - horrors! - I'll have to go kit shopping!

I'm in as well Bish. I'll look through the stash for something that says JU

Will get you on the list G, that will be a nice size.

Hey Bish please go ahead and put me down for the 1/48th Dragon Ju-188E-1 Avenger.

I did a little work on the cockpit over 25 years ago but my skills are so much better now I need to disassemble all of that and repaint it. 

I'm building the ju-87 airfix in 1/48 also.

Nice to have you on board guys.

Hutch, look forward to seeing that. I have that kit and the earlier A-4 and they look like stunning kits.

68, look forward to seeing that. There is some nice stuff at Aim's. I have thought about getting one of their 32nd Ju 188 conversions but haven't got aroudbn to it yet. I have used their decals on a He 219 and they were rather nice.

I'd like to clear off the bench and start things off fresh for the new year. I'm thinking an Italeri Ju-188 in 1/72 would be a nice way to start. The only question is which kit to build out of the pile. Have some Aimes decals so that should help narrow things down a bit.

I'm in, mate - put me down for the Revell 1/72 Ju88 A1.

I didn't join your Supermarine or Messerschmitt GBs, so I'm in with this. It's the first Airfix kit I've ever bought, and I only picked it up because of the Stuka that fotofrank posted in the Messerschmitt GB. I liked the camo scheme on it.

It would seem I can be a positive influence.

 

But that also mean you get the blame if it goes wrong

Ok guys, i'll get you on the list. Your gonna love that Kanonvogel Robert, best 72nd Stuka out there IMHO.

Look forward to seeing that 48th kit, i built their 72nd B-2 last year, really nice.
