Ok, If you have a pile of half finished kits, then this is the GB for you.
2023 will be the year for you to clear up some space in your work shop and lose some space in your display case (or your kid’s bedroom ceiling).
Rules are simple, pick some unfinished / stalled projects you have laying around and get them finished.
GB will start 12-1-2022 ( Hey, I like to build in December – heck with this waiting to Jan 1st business!) and end on 01-31-2024.
Sign up starts now!

I am SO in on this one! I have a couple of shelf queens that I need to finish up. I’ll post an update later with my subject(s).
-O
I like this idea, I have a few waiting in the wings. Getting to them this next year is iffy at best right now. I would like to give it a go.

I am the King of Unfinished Kits, so I’m in!
Great incentive to clean up some projects that are ‘almost’ complete-I’m in!
Now I have to decide which ones to commit to…will advise.
I’m in, I have serveral to finish, Make me TBD until I figure out which to start with.
Also, would you mind if kits are added to the list after others are finished? LOL, I’m making sound like I’ll get a bunch complete! [:$] [:D]
Thanks Gents. Roster Updated.
Pencil me in. TBD at this time. I have so many half done and almost finished kits in the closet it will take me sometime to decide what comes first. I have already been pushing myself to finish some kits to get them off the bench and onto the shelf. The level of completion is not important, correct? Just git 'er done, right?
Hi fotofrank, no , level of completion is not really important; as long as you are not at the decaling stage I would say! [;)]. I’ll add you to the roster.
Alright, can you chnage my TBD to a 1/48 Hasegawa BF109G-2, Please?
Thanks!
Put me down for a Tamiya P-51B to complete. There is still some painting and assembly to do to finish this kit. BTW: There are no decals on this airplane. Everything is painted and will be painted.
Roster updated hogfanfs and fotofrank. Thanks
So, begin now?
Alright, gentlmen, I’m git-er-ing done!
This is the Hasegawa kit I’m intending to finish:
It was started many moons ago for a Bf109 group build and I never finished.
Here it is, in it’s current state:
The Eduard interior and exterior photoetch parts:
And the cockpit as I had left it:
I have started adding a bit more photoetch to various pieces and will get more progress pics as I get further along.
I will say, I haven’t opened a kit in a long time, and its been quite therapeutic looking through the directions and feeling all the creative juice flowing again.
And I forgot, but, here are the aftermarket decals I’ll be using:
Alfred Grislawski, Yellow 9
My Apologies! Yessir, This GB is officially started! Don’t know what happened. December snuck up on me!
Nice markings hogfanfs. Who can resist a good 109 scheme!
Fotofrank, kudos to you for painting the insignia and invasion stripes. This will be sweet when it’s complete.
