    **** DONE: Bf109E-1 Jg54 Yellow 10 Battle of Britain Group Build

    User name: T Bolt
    Name: Glenn
    Category: 2, Intermediate
    Kit: Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-3
    Scale: 1/48th.
    Modifications: The Tamiya Bf109E-3 will be modified to make it a BF109E-1
    Accessories: Aero Master Decals, True details resin wheels and possibly a vacuformed canopy

    This is my first entry for the Battle of Britain Group Build. It is a Messerchmitt BF109E-1 of Jg 54 in France involved in the tail end of the battle The Tamiya kit is the E-3 model so I will be converting it to a E-1. The Camo is what sold me on this particular aircraft. It’s rather complicated so I will be practicing my airbrush skills before doing it. I hope to start the project in the next week or so after my Cold War and Kursk builds are completed

    Nice one Glenn. As discussed in our PMs, you'll need the later style canopy, as fitted as standard to the E4. The kit has the earlier canopy, fitted from the B to E. Should be a little bit of a challenge to do that cammo pattern !

    Nice one Glenn, should keep you out of mischief for a while. Camo will be good fun.

    Will probably do a Spitfire or a Hurricane as well me think, to even out the odds.... Since someone is already doing my squadron, the No. 74, I might throw in a Hurricane from the 'my' other Squadron, the No. 111 or one from the Czech Squadrons....see what happens.

    Also, no '111, '110.....

    I'll also be throwing in either a Spit or a Hurricane.

    Go ahead and do a spit from No 74 Jan, I'm doing 2 109s from JG 54 and probably a Hurricane from No. 85.
