4 x AZ Bf 109 G -> Bf 109 STGB II, sorry!


Recommended Posts

As I plan to build several small kits and like to handle them in one thread, I´ll leave the subjects off the title.

Build #1 (how optimistic...): A Junkers divebomber in RLM 65/70/71 scheme. Sound familiar re my recent builds? As I got to like the combination in the Ju 88 STGB I decided to start this GB with something close to it, just minus 1 in the number. So there´s a Zvezda 1:72 Ju 87 B/R kit in my stash, which will be built here. Pics to be added later.

Regards, V-P

Looking forward to it V-P

Thanks but you may have to wait a bit longer... Since we have Stuka build already here, and plenty of Macchi and Spitfires, I thought I must balance the forces with some Luftwaffe stuff. So boring, you say. But be prepared to count 2-4-6-8 and sing motorway - the Gustavs are coming! More about that when the mailman has dropped by. V-P

Oh I can´t just read your posts without doing something myself - what kind of a host am I if I don´t? I´m travelling from A to Z, ending up in AZ, as there´s a A-cademy G-14 I´m building in GPW GB, a Z-vezda F-2 about to be built in Blitzbuild GB, before I allow myself to start 4 AZ- Gustavs in this MTO GB. I guess everyone understood I´m talking about Bf 109:s :winkgrin: .

But here´s the plan for a 2-4-6-8 trip around the Mediterranean in Gustavs! Pictures c/o AZ Model as I can´t do them better myself. The G-4 kit I already have but the rest are on their way from Praha to Lieto :thumbsup: .

2!

Option 2 has nice variety of colours and takes us to island Rhodes, Greece!

4!

Option 1 is another brown/green plane and takes us to Afican continent in Bizerta, Tunis!

6!

Option 2 takes us to largest island of the Mediterranean, Sicily in Italy! To balance all that grey, let´s do a R6 gunship; though option 3 has nicer rudder :hmmm:

8!

It´s a sign that the end of the war at the Med is getting near, as option 3 takes us back to Italian mainland and the Anzio landing region - but I hope the trip will be worth it!

Love the first two. The sandy 8 is interesting too, even if it's not the one you're doing. I've never seen one of these built, so I'll pull up a pew and settle down to enjoy this one.

I made a rehearsal build at the Blitzbuild GB here. That actually takes the Sicily off these AZ builds, we´ll see what I´ll end up with instead. G-6 Trop option 3 from Crete?

EDIT 16.11.2016: We´ll meet these Gustavs again later in 2017 at the dedicated Bf 109 STGB II.
