Me109



Some of you will recall this mass of wrecked aircraft from a while back. I have been working on them and managed to pull about 33 more planes out of the junk pile. They now all have a canopy, spinner and propeller blades.

I am building a Gruppe of WWII German Me109 aircraft. That's four Staffel of 16 aircraft each, I have almost got three of them done with initial assembly and three of the four HQ aircraft. The gray ones are kits I have been building and are mostly not part of the junk pile box.



The airplane in the lower left corner has had the spinner and prop painted and the canopy painted up and the entire plane gloss coated. It looks much better compared to the others that still need that procedure done on them. These are all part of my Battle of Berlin project. The planes are in 1/72nd scale.

They are coming along nicely.

How many planes do you actually expect to have "in play" during your game?

Well, first we don't recycle units, vehicles or aircraft, so once they are out they are gone. In the past I have had as many as 20 German and 65 Soviet aircraft in the air at one time in a ground combat game. So probably a lot.
