**** DONE: 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3,the VVKJ - Aircraft in Foreign Service GB

[Vic Balshaw]

Good on you Igor, hope you've the time to finish this one soon.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool!

Haven't progressed with this build much beyond of what is shown so far, but I should have some spare time to continue (and finish) the work in next couple of weeks or so. I have a request though. If the judges and other forum members/group build participants agree, I would like to ask if this entry can be transferred to the Foreign aircraft GB. Thematically it fits just fine, so if none of you guys don't mind then this thread can be simply moved to Foreign Aircraft GB section. If not, there's no problem, I'll finish the model eventually anyway.

 

[A4K]

Not a judge, but no worries here Igor! Nice subject btw.

 

[Wurger]

I don't have any problem with this. Let's wait for other opinions though.

 

[Crimea_River]

I think it should be up to the other entrants in the intermediate category, not the judges.

[Airframes]

No problem here, but agree with Andy's suggestion.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Not a worry here but tend to agree with Andy's suggestion.

Andy I think you got the names from the wrong build mate, Igor is looking at GB12.

So over to you guys in the Intermediate for GB 12: David (VikingBerserker), Jelmer (jjp_nl), Michael (Hub), Bill (N4521U), Karl (rochie), Even (A4K) and Sergio (destrozas).

 

[imalko]

Yes Vic it's the GB12 Foreign/Captured Aircraft.
The judges have spoken. Up to you guys...

 

[Crimea_River]

Oops, sorry about this mix-up. Igor, suggest you PM the guys mentioned above to provide their feedback in this thread. I would say if at least 4 of the 7 agree, you're in.

 

[imalko]

Sure Andy. Evan already agreed few posts back and I'll contact the rest of the guys to what they say..

 

[rochie]

Igor
go for it my friend, i have no issue with your request.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I'm good as well!

 

[jjp_nl]

Even though my own entries in this category (and in any GB for that matter) seem to have stranded somewhere along the way so I feel I don't have a big say in it, I wouldn't mind seeing this one continue in another GB, if it fits there too. Bottomline for me is building a kit and displaying how to go about that in your own way and sharing experiences on that. All the rest, such as theme's, group builds, judged competitions (notwithstanding the excellent judges we have around here) and such comes second. So, if it were up to me, this GB is as good as the next. If this build fits in with a different GB as well, I say go for it.

 

[imalko]

Cheers mates! I'll start the painting tonight, so hopefully I'll be posting new progress photos soon.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks like you're in Igor. Well done and good luck!

 

[N4521U]

Sorry I answered so late, but good you are in.
However, with my yes vote,

we split the million for first place if you get the votes!

 

[Wayne Little]

I don't have a problem with the move either.

 

[imalko]

Thanks again everyone. Here's a quick update on the build - camouflage is RLM70 upper surfaces and RLM 65 undeside...

 

[Wurger]

Looking very nice Igor.

The thread moved....
