Bf-109: Reich Defender GB The End

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

In talking with a couple of other members here, we thought about starting up a late-war Bf-109 GB. Any variant from the Bf-109G-6 onward would be eligible. These would include the G-6, G-10, G-12, G-14, and the K-4. Any sub-variants of these would also be acceptable (IE G-14/AS). Any scale allowed, OOB or every aftermarket accessory you can throw at it. Preferably an unstarted kit, but ones just started would be OK. My thought is a start date of November 27th, 2008 and running through V-E Day on May 8th, 2009. Cross-over builds allowed. If this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to join up!

Below is the GB badge, feel free to grab it whenever you like. I will host it until the end of the GB (5/8/09).

First recruit reporting for duty, Herr Hauptmann! I’ll do a few, specifics to follow.

3

Great to have you aboard recruit! I was hoping you would find your way over here. In fact, I almost went ahead and put your name here. [;)]

4

Frank, I’d be up for this one. Though I don’t have a kit in the stash. I’ve been looking for a reason to build a 109 and this sounds good. Gives me a reason to spend a little dough at the LHS or, more likely, online.

5

Are cross-overs allowed? I have the 1/32 Hasegawa Bf-109K-4 that I am building for my Endgame 1946 GB and would be more than happy to include in this GB as well.

6

Well I think I’m going to try to pop out 2 before this things over. The first will be one that been hanging around here for years. A hasegawa 1/48 scale G-6, in the marking of Hermann Graf’s “green 1” rocket armed reich defender of JG 50. I don’t have one of these yet. The second will be a K-4, but depending on if I can get the decals I want will determin what I do. I would like to do a hasegawa 1/48 K-4 jet defender. But if not I will do a hasegawa 1/32 K-4 in Graf’s marking.

luftwaffle- Tell me about the badge in your sig, was there a 109 GB earlier this year that I missed?

hkshooter- Thank you! I got you on the list. Just let me know when you decide what you want to build. [tup]

WarHammer25- I think cross-overs are fine. How much of the kit have you built already?

phoenix- Outstanding! Glad to have you aboard. Your expertise will be a welcome addtion here. I’ll go ahead and add the 1/48 G-6, just let me know on the other one whenever you have a chance.

Hey Frank, I would like to join this GB. I have three G-10 in the stash and need a reason to build one. They are the Revell/Monogram offerings and upon looking at them they are very basic in detail. Maybe I can find some AM stuff to jazz them up a bit. It’s in 1/48 by the way.

Steve

I would like to join up with this. I have Academy’s 1/72 Bf-109G-14.

10

I am very interested here. I have not done a late war Luftwaffe fighter in years. Time for a new one. I have several in the stash to choose from.

11

Got you on the list fellas. [tup] Thanks for signing up!

12

I was playing around with a GB badge this evening, thought I would share it and see what you guys think.

13

Hi Frank,

I may regret the overcommittment, but I’ve sure got the 109 bug… I have a Hasegawa 1:48 K-4 in my stash, also a Hasegawa 1:48 G-6 and a Promodeller 1:72 G-10. I’ll nominate the G-6 at this point simply because it’s more accessible than the others: I might need AM decals for Reich defense, not sure what’s in the kit.

No promises, I’ll know in a couple of months what’s possible, and might have to withdraw, but I’d sure like to add another 109 to my lineup!

Cheers,

Mike/TB379

14

I haven’t started my K-4 yet. The Endgame 1946 GB doesn’t start until January 1st.

15

Another 109…Oh OK I’m in Frank. Fujimi 48th G-6 with MInistry of Small Aircraft decals and Eduard PE JOHN

16

Oh yeah and I like the badge

17

Howdy Frank old boy. Since you refuse to venture into the dark world of armor, I must come into the light to see ya.

Can a crossover be included? My club is doing a GB, mandatory participation for E-Board members, to show what can be done with a snap together model. We will be doing some displays at various events and want to dmenstratethat you don’t have spend your weeks gas money on a build. All the kits we are doing are Pegasus EZ Snaps and I am doing a G-6 and would like to submit here as well. Me? In an a/c GB?[%-)]

18

Outstanding! Glad to see the interest here. [tup]

Mike/TB379- I put you down for the G-6. Hope you will be able to stay, but if you need to go, I understand.

WarHammer25- Perfect! Can’t wait to see your Karl. I almost chose that one to build myself!

Thanks John! [:D]

Marc- WOOHOO! Glad we could draw you back into the light (even if it is temporary!). Great to see ya! [^]

Now, where the heck is Guy at? [%-)]

19

Thanks Frank

Last time I saw Guy he was putting the finishing touches on a half traxxxxxxx AIRPLANE … I said airplane[:-^]

BTW I like the badge. Ifthis is the one you go with, what isthe ruling on claiming the badge? Now, not until the start date or not until completed build?
