Don't think it's a bad thing to be so enthusiatic about a subject though, sounds as if your motivation is high Yes it is a good thing I've got plenty of time to pick the subject matter. I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew with a bigger scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing support to build at least one of them. That Airfix G kit is the ancient and has no decals, hence the Italeri equivalent. Nice selection. The Airfix and Italeri G6 would make for an interesting double-build if there's enough decals in the later to cover both kits. 47 minutes ago, Walter said: Yes it is a good thing I've got plenty of time to pick the subject matter.

Nah, you'll be fine, it's just the same except the bits are bigger and you need a bit more paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a quick perusal of the instructions confirms two mutually exclusive Luftwaffe options - and a Finn, and a Swiss one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by the time this gb comes around I'll have to try a 1/48 scale. Its probably because of voting in the group builds. Once ends people will start looking around to see whats coming and available to jump in. 2 hours ago, theplasticsurgeon said: My stash contains these eligable 1/72 kits Academy Bf109e, Airfix Bf109e4, Monogram Bf109G10, Airfix Bf109G6, Italeri Bf109G6.

Col. Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Here's my toy box for this particular GB One full Eduard Overtrees kit and the majority of a second without the cockpit parts, a Brassin cockpit, and a couple decal sheets. I'll need to add a second Brassin cockpit to ensure the Yugoslavian UMe-109 can become a reality but money is a little tight at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polybebber Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I've got the kits and I've got the time, so why not!? But too early for a final decision on what type or markings, but there's enough I can choose from. 32nd scale for me. You may count me in.

vppelt68 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I visited my local hobby shop today. They had a Hasegawa 1:72 scale Bf 109 G-6 dual boxing with Finnish decals for two HLeLv 34 planes (surprise it caught my eye ). It costs too close to as much as two fresh Tamiya Gustav kits. I have "enough" aftermarket decals for Finnish MT:s already. But that external surface detail looked soooo niiiiiiice... I didn't buy it. At least not yet. I don't need those decals. I collect HLeLv 24 planes. But are those Hase mid-90's vintage kits just too nice not to grab them? No interior detail to speak of but otoh none will be seen anyway once the canopies are attached. Just quick assembly and then splash the colours on. Aw... 💸 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Any of us in mainland UK looking for a cheap 109 kit could do worse than get Revell's 48th scale G-10 kit in Hobbycraft for £5. https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/revell-messerschmitt-bf-109-g10-model-plane-kit-148/631101-1000 Reading some online reviews gives the impression it is a simple and somewhat basic but nonetheless good kit. Perhaps a nice introduction to those of us looking to go up a scale or the more experienced amongst us looking for a simpler low-stress project. For the 72nd scale gang both Aldi and Lidl currently have the Airfix 109E starter kits at £4.99 so plenty selection of bargains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hi Col, yes please, put my name on the blackboard! It will either be a 109 E or F, my favorites. Thereafter I will make an exception for the G-10, but none of the rest makes my modelling juices flow! Cheers JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate I'm in Australia postage kills the incentive to buy direct even with the member discount.

Been somewhat tempted by that engine kit as well to add a bit of extra interest to one of the two Pity about the scary postage costs but having seen how much it costs to get stuff from Australia to the UK I can understand why it puts you off Edited December 8, 2019 by Col.
