I'm tellin ya we are going to have to have a Kurfurst GB!!! You scored some really great bargains! Even comparing to my low price go-to, they are less?
If there is upcoming Bf 109 (any variant) GB I would consider joining.
I am preparing to build the Eduard Bf 109G-6 1/48 kit. Rounding up all my supplies.

I have the Tamiya 1:48 version (with Kubelwagen by he way). Let me know when you start. I'm done on the GB60 stuff and looking for something to do. Would be interesting to compare the two. especially if doing the same campaign details! It's either that or start the 1:32 190 F-8 I picked up at the model show in San Marcos last fall?? Which kit number do you have?
Kit number 82111
I'm not starting before January/February. I fly to Germany in two and half weeks for family Christmas/New Year's vacation. So all I am doing now is rounding up all my paints and supplies.

Nice one, except for maybe the 'spiral' spinner decals! If you are game, I'll make a suggestion (I think I just did!) to the powers that be, to start a mini-GB for this series of 109's. Would be fun! I suspect there are a lot of members that have a 109 G-6 in their stash and just itching for someplace to justify a build?? If not I'll start mine at the same time and we can have our own mini GB...
Wish I could join you on the Germany trip. Not to visit your relatives, but to connect with the grandson 'stuck' in Stuttgart with his father. First time away from family for these holidays. Have fun. Reunions with German relatives are like no other (most people don't understand this).
Stuttgart, that is where I will be. My mom and dad, and my wife's family all live there or that area.

Unfortunately there are no opportunities for 109 builds in this round of GBs until the summer of 2025 - unless someone does the T version in the carrier based GB. Yeah, it sucks for me too. Also have a FW190 I can't fit in either.

Informal then?? Just for fun and challenge? No official judging, but member input could be solicited. Hey! We are all here to build and show off our results, what a better way to promote comradery and clear out the stash pile up; restocking is as much fun as well!!
I assume I can initiate a challenge on my own? Got to remember I'm a child of the 60's.
F the establishment. or whatever!

So much to do and so many planes to build, the days are crammed with chores and fun......................................................and I thought retirement would be a quiet walk in the park.!

Retirement??/ Please define! I 'officially' retired after 30+ years 30 years ago. Kept on working though, last 40 hr employment was 2 years age, at age 78.; So...now what do I do?? Time and age have reduced many activities. Mainly now, light lifting, short distances (walking) and keeping out of the wife's way are the order of the day. Perfect fit for bench times and cooking. Enjoy what 'you can do now', for these may not last forever (weak excuse for adding to the stash!!).So much to do and so many planes to build, the days are crammed with chores and fun......................................................and I thought retirement would be a quiet walk in the park.!

Great idea. I'll wait until the first of the year once Chris returns from his travels and offer a challange to the group to participate in a 109G-6 build. Not sure how to create a general thread whereas members can post sub threads? May be over thinking? But it seems that it would be fun, at least for the two of us, to participate in.

You? Overthinking? NAH!!!!!
If you do this, maybe consider not confining the GB to just G-6s. A few of us have Kurfursts and other 109 variants waiting to see the light.

Geo beat me to it, was going to suggest the Unofficial GBs myself.
I have a number of 109s myself that need doing, icluding a Hungarian G-10 and an H-1 that are itching to be made. Count me in if you do a GB with other marks.
