Axis Aces Sep 2006 - Jun 2007

Scott, I was wondering if I might be able to pick up and re-join this build even though I haven't been around for a few months.  Btw I love the license plates

I have only gone back a couple of pages so far but DrewH, mokulele, balta1 and everybody else , awesome work guys those builds look great

Cheers 

Nice work on your interior Balta! 

Drew, your DB engine looks great! 

WOW Drew, she's Looking GOOD !

Nice work there

Bud

Looking Good balta Any progress is good progress.

I've been busy today and got a fair bit more done. It's now on it's gear tor the first time. No more paint bottles under the wings.The engine is building up slowly, but steadily. Now to paint the canopies

Well I'm just about done with the cockpit. I'm trying to fdinsih her up while watching the Bears game. Here are some pics.

Scott, it is the G-6, is it alright if I combine this one with the BF-109 GB?  I hope to start as soon as my Spitfire is off the bench, maybe in a couple weeks.

You betcha!  Just as long as you're building one from an Axis ace you're good to go amigo.

Bob, thanks, I've been lurking here and there lately and not getting much done but with several GBs having year long/extended time lines, I think I can do that.  Also 1:72 builds are pretty fast for me, if you call 2 months fast...

Thanks Scott,

That is the 1/48 Hasegawa kit.  My 1/32 Hasegawa G-6 is still on the shelf...screaming at me to build.  Oh well...I'll get to it soon. 

I shot you a PM.  Hopefully we can get together.  You know I'm always up for a trip to the hobby shop!

Aloha,

Chris 

Oh man, I'm going to be out in the field most of the day on Thursday to support the roll out of a new wireless tablet PC for our Casino Services techs.  If you're interested, we could try to hook up for a few minutes at High Sierra Models in the late afternoon.  

Your 109 is coming right along.  Is that the 1/48 or 1/32 kit?  I'm slowly working on mine, I had to put it off to the side for a bit while I finish up some more pressing projects. 

That is SWEEEEETT, Scott! And thanks for extending the deadline on this GB!  I'll be in Reno this week...arriving late Wednesday night and leaving Friday morning.  Let me know if you want anything (reasonable ) from Hawaii.

Panzer, as Scott mentioned, we are all pulling for ya!

Here are some progress pics of my Hartmann winterized 109:

Next up...preshading.  Thanks again for the extension!

Aloha,

Chris

I know what you mean, I'm really enjoying that GB as well, it's fun doing all the research.  I'm doing some work right now on my Bf109G-14 (and my Panther for the Italeri build).  I hope to have enough progress worthy of posting some pics either this afternoon or tomorrow.  I'm Stuck dead in the water with my modeling for now I probably won't pick up a model for another month or two, my eye surgery is going to be non laser so after I have it on the 23rd they say I'll probably need the patch for another month or so GRRRRRRR I'M BORED!!!!! "Panzer"

Well good luck with your surgery and recovery, we'll be pullin' for ya!

So how much time do we have left for this, I finally got me a BF-109g for hartman (hasegawa 1:72).  Please say like Feb 28.

Hi Jay, I updated your entry on the roster, glad you're with us!  Is that a G-6, G-10 or G-14?

Scott-thanks for the extension.  Although I'm about 80% done, I'm in the middle of a new job, home improvement projects, middle school basketball and a couple of good books.  That and I've got the Eduard FW-190A5 due in soon......maybe two builds for this one.....nah...probably should save it for later.  The Panzer Aces GB keeps calling my name.....

Jay-Welcome back!

Sweet, looking forward to some pics!

Happy Belated B-day, Scott!   Congrats on the Emil, too.  I picked one up (E-4) last month and look forward to building it...one day.  I just finished my G-14 cockpit and will try to post some progress pics soon. I really look forward to more pics from everyone and may there be more Bf109 GBs for 2007!  Happy New Year everyone! Aloha, Chris

Thanks Chris!  I hope you enjoyed the holidays and that you have a great new year! 

Ok gents, I'm ready to tackle these seatbelts.  Going to go clean the PE as we speak.....

Sweet, got a 1/48 Bf109E-3 for my birthday   You can never have too many 109's in the collection.  I also ordered a custom Reno Air Race License plate for my Nissan Titan with "Bf109" on it.   

It's been slow modeling wise here. Did get the camo finished and motteling done. I got a gloss coat on and will be masking for the ID band and empanage stipes tomorrow. May even get a base white down too. I'll get pics soon as I can. Later all
