Erwin Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Hi all, With great pleasure I can say that this GB has been approved with 32SIG (Ian) and myself as your hosts. Without going into much detail at this early date,I post some GB guidelines which can be handy to pick a possible build. The focus lies on the period 1939-1940 with the German invasion of Poland,Belgium,Holland,France,Denmark and Norway untill the BoB ( BoB not incluided) Anything from this time-frame can be build (planes,ships,tanks,figurines,etc ) in the markings of the above mentioned countries. That's about it at this moment. Feel free to use this topic to let us know what you intend to build. And remember.The aim of a GB is to have fun !

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I will probably have a go at one of the following - still indecisive... 1:32 Stuka (21st Century Toys) 1:32 Morane MS 406 (Azur) 1:32 Bloch MB 152 (Azur) 1:32 Hurricane Mk 1 (PCM) 1:32 Ju-88A-1 Norway (Revell) Of course I'll prolly choose something completely different when time comes...

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Will the PCM Hurricane be around when the GB starts ? Could do a Belgian one. I believe it's already on general release (as of this week) A Belgian one would be superb - and a fitting tribute...

n.vodden Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Oh yeah baby! love Luftwaffe aircraft of this period ( with the 109 being my fave of all time! ) I've got a 1/32 Revell JU87 that has been part built and has been sat in the cupboard stalled ( interior assembled and painted, fueselage halves glued together. thats it ) for about 6 months - is that at an early enough stage to join with? I'll probably save the 1/32 Hasegawa bf109E for this one as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems there's still plenty to do. So please join the GB with the Ju 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jase Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'm in with either: Using a Tamiya 1/48 BF109 E-3 Or this: Using Eduard's 1/48 BF110C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) GB time-frame : 1 st November 2010 - 28 th February 2011 Anything from this time-frame can be build (planes,ships,tanks,figurines,etc ) in the markings of the above mentioned countries.British subject from the Phoney War are also allowed. Hi all, As there is the BoB GB just prior to the Blitzkrieg GB , I am excluiding Phoney War British subjects. The focus of the Blitzkrieg GB now lays on subjects (planes,tanks,ships,figurines,dioramas,etc ) from the invaded countries and ofcourse the "bad guys" .

Erwin Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) IMPORTANT !! Hi all, It's stange that only five members (me incluided) have responded to let us know their intended builds. This GB has been approved by Mish because I had enough responce in a previous topic to get this GB going. However,if this GB doesn't get the minimum of 15 members that will commit to build someting, this Blitzkrieg GB will be cancelled and the time-frame can be given to the "Battle of the Atlantic" GB. It's up to you members to let this GB run or be cancelled. I close the participants list on 31 st March. Edited February 15, 2010 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcn Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Erwin, I think the problem is that the aprroval of the BOB GB has diluted this one as there is an element of crossover between the subject matter. To all intents and purposes they are very similar GB's, also with the timeframe being put back to November this is still some way off. I've previously committed to this GB and if it goes ahead i'll be doing a 109E-1 as i've already purchased the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This GB should attract models from the lesser build nations.We don't often see Polish,Dutch,Belgian,etc... models. I've previously committed to this GB and if it goes ahead i'll be doing a 109E-1 as i've already purchased the decals. Thanks.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 This is sad news indeed from Erwin after I apporved the GB with 17 interested members. Would be a shame to see this one fail before it's even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Hold on a sec folks... I wouldn't close the GB just yet because of lack of interest... I think expecting everyone that's going to take part to list their builds now - a full 8.5 months before the GB - is a bit optimistic. Personally I think it should be kept as is - and see how many we can get during Sept/Oct. I think it's very worthwhile as a separate and distinct GB from the B of B one - and *will* get support!

denstore Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I might be in with a Dewoitine D.520. I was thinking of some suitable armoured veichle in 1/48, but there are not many out there, are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) My main concern is that GB's time- frames are precious. The calendar for 2010 is already full with no more room for extra GB's. I would rather give away a approved time-frame to a more appealing theme than a GB were we can only expect about ten participants. Having said that.It might have been me that was a bit to impatient because I didn't see many replies yet. My appologies for that. We will see where it goes the next months and decide then.

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Erwin - I recon there will be enough interest - you worry too much! Even if I have to book some time off work and list myself under 5 psuedonyms... Of course - feel free to shout 'I told you so' when the tumbleweed floats past!

Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 There must be others interested in a Blitzkrieg GB? I would be interested in doing a very unoriginal model. I would build a Bf-109E is the two-tone green camouflage. If I can find the markings, it would be one used in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacon Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would like to show interest in this GB, just can't say what I will do yet with such an open choice. Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 You should be able to find aftermarket decals.Which kit do you intend to use ? The Tamiya 1/48 Bf 109E-3, backdated to an E-1. Unless there were any 109Ds used on the Polish campaign. Now that would be interesting. I've very interested in the 70/71 scheme. The two greens were very close in colour and the contrast between them is almost negligible. I have tried various combinations of 70 and 71 and I've found that after a couple of coats of Kleer and a final coat of matt varnish, the contrast just disappears leaving the uppersurafces almost monotone. It will be interesting to find out what slightly lighter green I can use as a substitute for the RLM71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Unless there were any 109Ds used on the Polish campaign. Now that would be interesting. I found several Doras profiles that date from September 1939 in this link. So you can do a Dora in this GB. The GB is about the time-frame Sept 1939 untill the BoB. http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/f/139/2/1 Edited March 8, 2010 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
