Group builds.....

[Wayne Little]

Wayne gets a -30 handicap. Oh. And he has to build his model with only his thumbs.

Do I have to wear a Blindfold?

 

[Airframes]

Do you think there should be categories, to give a chance to those that might be nervous about entering? I'm thinking cats for beginner, novice, and up, for example. Might have to have a scale cat also; Wayne knows the set-up re comps, I've forgotten, its so long since I bothered!

 

[Lucky13]

Can do Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced if you like....or what they're called....

 

[Airframes]

Whatever. Maybe Wayne can advise, if you'd like to mate?

 

[Lucky13]

Do I have to wear a Blindfold?

Aye, and for each day when you start, you have to have a dram or two....

wayne has to make an fw 190 out of bf 109 parts just to give us all a chance

probably still be better than mine though talented git

 

[Heinz]

Also should we consider photography in terms of some set angles for each person's model. Easier comparison perhaps?

 

[Lucky13]

There's plenty of time lol to iron things out before we start... Also maybe decide for time period, should it be from 43' to 45' or from Bodenplatte to VE Day?

 

[Heinz]

Time is an elastic entity Jan

I think I might could be in for a Gruppe build have a couple 1/32 109's with the goodies.Kevin

 

[Lucky13]

...and nobody can stretch the time more than I can.... The more the merrier Javlin! 8)

 

[Catch22]

Well, I should be getting quite a bit of moola for Christmas, so I should be set. I also asked for a 1/32 190 for Christmas, so we'll see how that goes.

Edit: CRAP! I forgot the 190 I asked for is an A-5, and I also asked for a Tony, so I'm more likely to end up with the Tony as I have a few 190s already!

hey lucky a couple of notes on your posting of the bands.

JG 3 was a wide white band not narrow

II./JG 27 had a narrow green band while the other gruppen had a wide green band

JG 300's blue is too light should be a bit more dark
and IV./JG 301 red/yellow should be reversed, only on Fw 190A's and the Dora-9's was it reversed in the other I.-III. gruppen

cheers

[Lucky13]

Thanks Erich, very much appreciated as always! I suspect that your expertise will be frequently asked for when it all get started. Btw, what do you know about this Bf 109K-4, Yellow 13, the one that I plan to build?

 

[Wayne Little]

I'll make it easy on you Pr*cks....as our loveble Dan would say.....I will put my hand up and be a Judge of sorts!

It would not hurt to have a couple of category levels (TBA) but remember the bottom line is to have FUN ENJOY....and hopefully learn from the experience!

 

[Lucky13]

As you say Master Wayne... We can just make a Group Build of it as my intention first was....no "competiton". I sure would like for you, Wojtek and other "experten" take part as well with a build or three...make it a bit of you know, an "evening class" for us rookies.... In the end, you guys can "judge" the finished products in way of friendly and constructive criticism....8) I sure know that I need some....

Forgot to put in some friendly advice along the road....

Greetings. I'm hoping to join this group build with an Academy 1:72nd Bf109-g. Just a cheapo kit I got to get me started with modeling planes. The boxart I think shows the white messerchmitt flown by Eric Hartmann.

Does Hartmann's chmitt qualify as a "Reichdefender"? Has anybody tried building this kit? Any tips?

TIA
