Which aspect?

 

My other half has noticed that there are a lot of kits in the big pile "which all look the same".  It's her birthday in two weeks and I need to stop buying 109 kits with this in mind!

Would she not like a Bf-109?😄

Ummmmm, I think I'd be relegated to the shed if I did that.

Not ideal but then again not the worst of accommodations I’m sure ?

No but we must continually try lest our stash become landfill or Ebay fodder.

You haven't seen my shed!  It fills with water in the winter etc.

Unless you are below the equator, it is coming on summer.  You have at least a few months of "summer"...I use that term loosely.

Hi, Can I please join this as well? I'm entering a bf109 e for the 'less than a tenner gb' and would like to enter here as well if that's ok?

Yes of course. Feel free to get a thread started and share your progress

Hmmm still I have Six 109’s, four Airfix E’s and one Hobbycraft D and even a Hasegawa G somewhere in the stash...I think I give it a whirl as I do have some interesting camo  schemes that I would like to show....

@Col.Heck count me in🤪

 

cheers, Jan

Welcome to the GB Jan

While trying to figure out what to build (and seeing the posts quoting 109 stash numbers), I counted 27 109's in my yet to construct stack.

This constitutes about 1/3rd of my stash.

8 in 1/32nd scale and 19 of the 1/72 variety.

 

What to build ?

 

Ohh...I also dislike that the Airfix E-3 has been "retro fitted" with an E-4 canopy.

It's always nice to have some choice

Damn, my 18 in the stash (and 6 on the way from the Ukraine and maybe another 8 if the Beacon Models Kickstarter funds) seems rather paltry.

Although the 109 currently represents about 5% of the total airframes in my stash...

I might stop keeping a spreadsheet, it is disturbing!

Hopefully Beacon Models does work out. They've some interesting subjects planned

I cannot believe the begins this weekend.  Where does the time go?  I may have to do some serious bench-reshuffling to make this happen.  I've got a serious 109 jones happening...

 

 

I might either sort them out by manufacturer (AZ/KP/ICM/Tamiya/Airfix, etc...) or just build Gustavs...or build alphabetically (A,B,C,D, etc...)...maybe by operator?

I feel like maybe I have a problem...🤪

Not enough hours in the day to build models is indeed a serious problem!

Think of all the peace and free time you'd have to work on 109 models

Will be along later today hopefully Col. 

[Steve 1602]

I’ll be getting mine set up to start this afternoon 👍

 

(As soon as I decide which one is going to be first on the ramp! Decisions decisions!!)

[Torbjorn]

I see my name, but the schedule put 4 of ”my” GBs overlapping now and zero the rest of the year  Won’t make it I believe.

[jackroadkill]

With a bit of luck I'll be able to make a start this weekend.  I'm really looking forward to this one.  It'll be my fourth GB.

[Andwil]

Unfortunately with a house move in the offing I’m not going to be able to join in.

 

Apologies.

I'm just starting decals for my Less Than A Tenner GB,  Unarmed GB, and Anything But Injection GB entries.

I reckon I'll be able to join around next weekend.

I looked over my Bf109s earlier in the week, planning the schemes I'd paint.  All kits mentioned in my previous post remain in  my stash.

plus an ancient bagged Airfix G6 kit.

 

These two were build for the Battle of Britain 80th Anniversary GB

Academy Bf109E

 

and the one that got away, Airfix 109E

[Adam Poultney]

I've got a few other builds to finish first but I'm looking forward to this one

[stevej60]

Need a kit but will be onto it today!

Hi Col,

I'll be along shortly, just adding the last bits and bobs to my 1/24 Spitfire!

Cheers,

[At Sea]

Work has been manic and I'd like to apologise to the group builds I have missed in the last few months.

 

However, I can attend this one and have the Eduard 1:48 Profipack 109E and a Weekend Edition G.

 

I'll be along shortly!

[mike romeo]

Yep, I'm a slacker.  Got 4 builds in progress and have asked to join the Less than a Tenner GB, too.  What to do?  I know!  I'll start a 109!

Ye gods, I have no recollection whatsoever of putting my name against this one, but there I am on the list. I don't even have a 109 in the stash. Right, once I've got Unarmed and Less Than A Tenner out of the way I'll find myself a kit (and a nice easy paint scheme) and get busy.

[reini]

@Col. Oh man... I really need to hurry up my Africa build or I will run out of time. And my Unarmed build is still very much WIP. And now it's the Bf 109 STGB... 😮 But I did finish one build today! ... but it was sadly non-Gb build so I get no points for that. Buuut...  maybe after that, a Mersu. I'll just pop up a thread already in case I feel like dabbling with the cockpit at some point in the near future. I'll need to check if I can get my dad to join too, he is a big fan of 1:48 109's. Currently building his number 15 and 16 I think.

Apologies Col, I hac forgotten that I signed up for this one and there's not a lot in the stash. I do have a 1/144 Mark 1 kit of a 109 G-4 kit that I can make as a starter and I fancy having a crack at one of the new Special Hobby kits, but I will have to order one of those. I'll start a thread for the little kit tomorrow.

 

Cheers

John
