2023 Git-R-Done Group Build (Ended)

Looks good Frank. Did not know you were doing a blue noser.  Makes me think of the old blue nosed Testors electro-plated P-51D 'Moonbeam Mc Swine'. Man that was a pretty looking model on the box top... what markings are you doing?

 

I first saw this airplane at The Gathering of Mustangs and Legends back in 2007 and I've wanted to build a model of the airplane ever since. Finally started it several months ago, but then it ended up back in the closet where it sat until you started this group build. I live about 40 miles from where Stallion51 is based so I see a lot of blue nosed Mustangs. Kermit Weeks flies a blue nose too.

Another step closer to gittin-er done: I painted the nose and the spinner and then assembled the propeller yesterday. Next are the squadron/group/aircraft codes to be painted on the fuselage and vertical tail, probably tomorrow.

Put me down for a Tamiya P-51B to complete. There is still some painting and assembly to do to finish this kit. BTW: There are no decals on this airplane. Everything is painted and will be painted.

 

Fotofrank,  kudos to you for painting the insignia and invasion stripes. This will be sweet when it's complete.

Nice markings hogfanfs. Who can resist a good 109 scheme!

My Apologies! Yessir, This GB is officially started!  Don't know what happened. December snuck up on me!

So, begin now?

 

And I forgot, but, here are the aftermarket decals I'll be using:

Alfred Grislawski, Yellow 9

Alright, gentlmen, I'm git-er-ing done! 

This is the Hasegawa kit I'm intending to finish:

It was started many moons ago for a Bf109 group build and I never finished. 

Here it is, in it's current state:

The Eduard interior and exterior photoetch parts:

And the cockpit as I had left it:

I have started adding a bit more photoetch to various pieces and will get more progress pics as I get further along.

I will say, I haven't opened a kit in a long time, and its been quite therapeutic looking through the directions and feeling all the creative juice flowing again. 

So, begin now?

Roster updated hogfanfs and fotofrank. Thanks

Alright, can you chnage my TBD to a 1/48 Hasegawa BF109G-2, Please? 

Thanks!

Hi  fotofrank, no , level of completion is not really important; as  long as you are not at the decaling stage I would say! .  I'll add you to the roster.

Pencil me in. TBD at this time. I have so many half done and almost finished kits in the closet it will take me sometime to decide what comes first. I have already been pushing myself to finish some kits to get them off the bench and onto the shelf. The level of completion is not important, correct? Just git 'er done, right?

Thanks Gents. Roster Updated. 

I'm in, I have serveral to finish, Make me TBD until I figure out which to start with.

Also, would you mind if kits are added to the list after others are finished? LOL, I'm making sound like I'll get a bunch complete!  

Great incentive to clean up some projects that are 'almost' complete-I'm in!

Now I have to decide which ones to commit to....will advise.

I am the King of Unfinished Kits, so I'm in!

I like this idea, I have a few waiting in the wings. Getting to them this next year is iffy at best right now. I would like to give it a go.

I am SO in on this one! I have a couple of shelf queens that I need to finish up. I'll post an update later with my subject(s).
