Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 You know when you go into a restaurant and look at the menu? And the menu is so full of good thinks that you simply can't choose? Well, I'm getting that same feeling from this STGB. Hopefully a certain something will happen... but even if it doesn't, I'm in with certainly two. I just have to decide what... In the stash I have an Eduard E-1, a Zvezda F-1, three Hasegawa G-6, a Hasegawa G-10, a Hasegawa G-14, a Hasegawa K-4 and a Revell G-10. All in 1/48. The Revell G-10 has been in my stash since it was first released in the late 70s. I'm starting to think that its time may have come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Now the dates are up, I'm definitely in! As proposed, Bf109E-3, BoB JG54 Wubke's 'Yellow 11'. Already looking forward to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I'm also looking forward to this. I have had the Trumpeter 1/24 G-6 in the stash for ages so this will be a perfect excuse to get it out and built. Plan is to super-detail the engine/fuselage gun area and it will be done in the kit markings of Anton 'Toni' Hackl with the white tail. Main reference is the excellent HT Model book on the G-6.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've made my mind up. I will build two: A G-10 from the 1/48 Revell kit. I will chuck a bit of resin at it in an attempt to get it to the standard of internal detail of modern kits - there is absolutely nothing wrong with the shape or surface detail of this kit. I will be using a marking scheme provided on an Eagle Strike decal sheet but with my own interpetation. The sheet instructions claim the aircraft is in a very standard 74/75/76. However, the fin is completely overpainted in the lighter suppersurface colour. I've only seen this with aircraft painted in late-war colours. I have seen a color photo of the aircraft and it looks to me that the uppersurface is 75/83, so that's how I'm going to do it. The photo also shows a beige colour for the fuselage undersurfaces. This may be the mythical RLM 84. As far as I am aware, "RLM 84" was actually RLM 76 made with substandard materials which produced odd colours. The paint batches used by Focke-Wulf tended to have a blue-green appearance, similar to RAF Sky. Batches used by Messerschmitt sometimes had a pale tan or beige appearance. So, the colour scheme will be 75/83 uppersurfaces, beige "RLM 84" fuselage undersurfaces, natural metal wing undersurfaces and RLM 76 tail undersurfaces. I will also build an E-7 from the 1/48 Eduard kit, which should have been released by then. This will be an aircraft based at Kirkenes in Norway during 1942 and is, I believe, in the 74/75/76 scheme, a bit of a rarity for Emils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 At the moment my entry will be Red 8, the NMF G-6 "Mossie Chaser" III/JG300. All subject to change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Right, thats my GB album sorted on Photobucket, so here are a couple of piccy's. The man himself. The actual aircraft. And a colour profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The actual aircraft.And a colour profile. Just bear in mind that the fuselage band is white, not yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank152 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just bear in mind that the fuselage band is white, not yellow. JG11 only breifly, mid 1943 until around Autumn the same year, used a white band and that was only a narrow one. The G-6 in the photograph and depicted in the profile is sporting JG11's yellow band.

jacksdad Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just checked the kit colour instructions and it is shown as yellow also. Thanks for the confirmation Tim. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullardino Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Count me in, I'm still undecided whether to build the 1/32 Eduard E7 Trop or to buy a new F or G in 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 JG11 only breifly, mid 1943 until around Autumn the same year, used a white band and that was only a narrow one. The G-6 in the photograph and depicted in the profile is sporting JG11's yellow band. Thanks for the clarification. I have built this aircraft but all my research showed it had a white band. It did. But as you say it was a narrow one which is what my model has. I'm just glad it's correct. So I assume that the narrow white band was a theatre marking while the wide yellow band was an RV unit marking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume that the narrow white band was a theatre marking while the wide yellow band was an RV unit marking? No it wasn't a theatre marking although a white band was used as a marking for the Mediterranean Theatre along with a white spinner, 30cm white band immediately behind the spinner and white wing tips upper and lower surfaces. JG11 as far as I know was never deployed to the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. JG11 was one of the first units to adopt a coloured fuselage band (the narrow white one as in your model) in mid 1943. In Autumn that year Sturmstaffel1 began using a wide black/white/black band at the start of it's opps and it was around this time that JG11 changed to it's yellow band.

kpc7676 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm in, with something I will decide upon a bit later. Could be a desert schemed F4, a BOB E4, or a Mediterranen thetare G6. Oh the decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Mine will definitely be a Swiss E-3 - and she will look Gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Count me in. I think I'll do a late war JG300 machine - plenty of finishes and choices there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Count me in as well. I have some 1/32 109's lying around. I also believe that I have a conversion for a Avia 199 in 1/32. Is there permision for this one in the build as well? Edited April 26, 2012 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
