Marklo Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) I presume derivatives like the Avia S99 qualify as I’ve just acquired a pair of KP kits? One will be Israeli the other probably Czech. That brings me up to 8 kits, but I still want to do some G6s which would make 11 ( a nice significant number, I mean where do you go after 10?) Roll on may, starting to clear the decks for full on me109 production Edited January 9, 2021 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Can I come in please? Not sure what I am building... possibly a Battle of Britain Buchon, possibly a Czech Avia S-199, either way will be 1/48. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course, you're most welcome I'm hoping we'll have a few S-199 and Buchon in the mix to illustrate the whole 109 timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I just saw a review of the new Special Hobby Emil in 1/72nd. Looks too good to pass up. It's even got an engine! This will be a fun-filled GB for sure. Somewhat bordering on the obsessive, but that can be fun too! 😁🤪 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even got an engine! Spurred on by your comment, I had a quick look at reviews. Found one on Hyperscale, and Julian's posted a very good review here on BM. It does look amazing! But with a Tamiya G-6 and a Fine Molds G-2 planned, I'd never get the E-4 done, I have one work rate, slow. But as you say, it really does look too good to pass up. Might have to increase the stash slightly... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 My SH Emil arrived a while ago and it's a good kit (or that's my pre-build impression, at any rate). There's a strong possibility it will make an appearance in this GB. Well, assuming I don't build it first, that is... Either way, I think I have nine 109s in the stash, so I'll scrape something together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi folks, we'll see how it goes, but if possible, I'd like to join with the Heller K4 and the AZ G-14A/S. Rgds Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Looking through my 109 bin...V tails, a 109H, a Freddie, a two-seater, captured and re-purposed, multiple Axis aircraft...etc... For me, this will be a craaazy GB.... And in the middle of all of this I will, hopefully, be renovating a house for my own use, slowly moving my belongings across town in a slow transition and developing scads of film in a refitted darkroom. And...oh yes...I don't see the Greek lockdown disappearing anytime soon. The gov't has told us to expect 'rolling lockdowns' for the extended future. Lovely. Crossed fingers! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have been looking at Scalemates and I discovered that the Special Hobby G-6 'Mersu over Finland' kit is actually a re-boxed AZ Model G-6. Huh. The Emil, on the other hand, is all new. I look forward to building it, cowling open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 AZmodel owed Special Hobby some money, and they made a deal where AZ supplied SH a truckload of their Gustav sprues. SH added some non-plastic parts and new decals and packed them under their label, voilá. Not worse than regular AZm kits, but definitely not worth the extra money.

Definitely not a new kit. Still, the decal options are worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think I will join with Eduard's 1/48 "Mersu", with the air race special livery that's on the box cover. I'll try to get my dad to join too - he likes 109's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This is an advance notice advert. Its not a 'for sale' I have a number of 1/72 Buchon noses for converting the Airfix 109G to the Buchon. I got a load of them in a swop deal with their maker, afair his name was Smith When / if I can find them I'll be putting them up in the 'free to a new home' section 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 @vppelt68 There are people that like 109's - and then there are people who have already built over a dozen of them and has over twice as many waiting in the boxes 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I had to go and count, I have 16 finished (Academy G-6, Airfix E and G-8, AZmodel 5*G-6 and a G-6/AS, Hasegawa 2*G-6, Heller G-6, Hobby Boss, G-8, Matchbox E, Revell G-6/AS and Zvezda F-2) and in the display cabinet, 1 finished and then scrapped (Heller F after 2nd life as a paint mule), 2 wip (Italeri F dumped and AZmodel G-6 in the Interceptor GB) and only 3 in the stash (Hasegawa G:s) - apparently, I need to buy more, soon! See, I have no Fine Molds or Tamiyas at all 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Hmmmm🤔 3 D’s (one in the stash two built), 3 E’s built, & 4 G’s (two -6’s a Mersu and Standard and two 10’s) still need a couple more E’s, some F’s, a K, and a T in my collection before im happy. Im hoping to build the last Dora in Polish campaign colors, and maybe an F for the build. Edited January 14, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
