Welcome Jim and Roland...!
@Jim, I saw your 109, absolutely a stunner!
@Roland, I still have the Tomcat on the bench but I wanted to make for the first time a WWII plane, this iconic plane is beautiful with great color schemes! What's your planned scheme?

The Emil is one of my all time favorite aircraft. Really nice work so far Jos 👍

Oh boy, what´s happening to the world now...?! Hope you don´t make a habit out of this!! 😄
It looks great so far though, enjoy! 👍 And with the Cat in the background, it´s still open for a hypothetical Final Countdown II "Splash the Jerrys!" scenario!😉

Good job, Jos! For me the Emil is also the most beautiful of all 109s! I recently built an E-4. Galland's machine in 1:32! Your cockpit has turned out nice. I'm curious about your further construction progress - so far I like that a lot. Nice work that you show 🙂

Looking great Jos. I've got a Hasegawa E variant I need to get around to finishing. I think I'm going to do Galland's mount.

Great start Jos! No doubt it will be a stunner coming from your hands. Good to have you in our small GB 🙂

@James; this is really my first ww2 propeller plane and I have to say I enjoy building it! I also looked into the history of this iconic plane, along with the Spitfire two top aces...👍. Glad to have you here mate...!
@Erik; our 'small' GB should definitely be continued!
@Slavo; I just needed a quick win, the Cat took so much time. When this German former excellent fighter is ready, I will continue with my F-14. But no worries my friend...my preference and belief remains with the 4th gen fighters 😉
@Christian; many thx...I didn't know that they call the E version 'Emil'! I admired you Bf for a moment, what a beautiful model and fantastic reference for my build. Glad to have you on board!
@Nathan; thank you Nathan, what scale do you have? You should definitely take a look at Christiaan Kohl, who has built a Galland, in a word ... awesome!
@Roland; thx mate, I just needed a quick build where I also see quick results...🙂 I don't think that it will be a sprint, more a short walk in the park where I enjoy the moment as much as possible...haha!

Thanks Nathan!
Ready with camo scheme, I used the RLM colors from Gunze...real authentic. Had some challenges to air-brush the mottling, but I am satisfied.

Whoa, strange times indeed! Hmm, I have a couple 109s too. How crazy would it be if all three of us (you, Daniel, and I) were doing WWII Axis aircraft? LOL
Oh, and btw, you are off to a great start man!!!

Thanks Daniel, Michael, Slavo, Nathan, James, Roland, Clifford and (109 GB mate) Erik. Much appreciate your kind words and comments, I really do...!
@Michael...I challenge you to start also with a 109...LOL, for sure that would also become a stunner, definitely 😉
Finally the nose has it RLM04 color on it, so cool...I love already this beautiful scheme... 😄

Man that looks good! I don't know enough about Luftwaffe WW2 aircraft to spot the error... but, you have me thinking hard about my next project... should I go with the original plan or join you with a 109??? hmmm...

Wait, I need to hear the original plan first^^
Only difference to your cover-pic I can spot are the Kill-Marks...but I have no WWII clue as well😉

Daniel and Jos, the original plan was a Jolly Rogers Super Hornet. If I do a 109, I want to do something a little different, and I have found a unique scheme I really like for the Hasegawa Friedrich kit I have... so I will need to quickly acquire certain decals and paint if I go that route.
Jos, BTW, even with you pointing that out I still don't see it. LOL

It looks brilliant Jos, hope you can fix your decal problem. @Michael, I bet a 109 from you would be a masterpiece.

Did you consider mask-painting the crosses?

Thanks, Michael, Clifford, Daniel, Sergej, Christian, and Erik...nice to see and read how my project is appreciated by y'all, absolutely awesome!!
@Michael: If you're going to start with your Jolly Rogers Super Hornet, I was already planning to make an F/A-18A of the Bloodhounds ... do I hear a Hornet GB ... haha LOL...😢
@Erik: Oh absolutely otherwise I would have regretted it if I had not placed them the other way around ... thank you very much for the Germanic crosses you sent, a real modeling friend!
@Sergej: I have to admit that I didn't feel like masking😎, luckily but otherwise I would have had to tape everything again... 😄
I decided to restore the wrongly placed decals, this took me extra time that I could actually have used elsewhere in this project.

Modelers, I have created a Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build, as a lot of mates are doubting whether they want to build a fantastic WW2 Axis fighter, this way we can enjoy each other's projects ...!

Fine work there Jos & a nice save on the decal correction. Since you have the 109 GB going, I guess I need to get those Galland decals rush ordered... 🙂

Thx guys, much appreciate your kind words...it's motivates me to continue in the GB initiated by me! I've never build a prop before and now some of the finest modelers here on SCM are joining...absolutely awesome, again thx guys 👍!
My Bf-109...I added a few cables/pipes (I don't know how you call those things) for the brakes on the landing gear! Couple of days no benchtime, doing some quality time with my wife... 😄

After seeing all these 109 builds I'm really tempted to start one myself. Got a 109G in the stash.
Great initiative with the group build btw. 👍

When masking the Leading Edge Flaps to spray the inside RLM 02, I accidentally stuck a piece of tape over the decal. The cross was damaged and have restored it with black and white paint...😄

Nice save Jos! Hate when that happens, had to do that myself a couple of times. You may already know this, but I found that using sticky notes to mask over decals always prevents the decal from coming up if I need to mask over already applied decals. Works great and the adhesive of the notes is not tacky enough to pull decals up. Sometimes I put tape over the notes if I have a large area to mask so the note just protects the decal area.

Many thanks, Eelco, James, Roland, Nathan, Bjorn, Erik, Christian, Sergej, Mirko, Michael, and Daniel...absolutely great comments from great modelers! It was a real thrill to build a WW2 plane, never done it before. It was also a quick build, just in one month...that's absolutely great for my mojo 😉
I'll definitely build more WW2 propellor planes, but first I've to finish this year my other two projects which are still on my shelf of doom 😄, an F-14A Tomcat from Tamiya and a Brasilian Super Tucano from Hobbyboss!

Without any claims to be all too knowledgeable about the subject, this turned out really great! 👍 Love the color contrast, precise paint job and the weathering too!
Maybe a day will come for me to try something like this, if for nothing else than the chance to install a nice wire aerial!😉
