While working on the fuselage I started fooling with the cockpit and couldn't stop. |

| A collector of box top art, of course. |

| Many years ago I knew a guy that collected box art. He would buy a kit cut the box top art and throw away the kit. I ran into him about ten years ago and his wife confirmed he was still collecting the box top and throwing away the kit. Of course he often gave away the kit rather than waste basket it. I don't think you can call this an obsession like your P-51 collector, I'm not sure what you can label the "box collector". |

| One of the vets on the Air Force site I used to be a part of builds nothing but Mustangs and although in many scales, all are painted,+ or -, in the same gunfighter scheme. I think he has well over 50 of them. |

| Repeat? Yes and no. I've built the Dumas kit before, but as a 109G-2/3. This time I'm building it(converting it) to a G-6 with entirely different markings and a quite a different color scheme. The Bf 109 was the most built aircraft (over 33,000 in a dozen different variants) and served on every front of the European war and carried an unbelievable variety of colors schemes and unit heraldry. One unit during the Battle of Britain even painted out the tail swastika in protest of the Nazi anti-semitism. |

| Jerry isn't this a repeat for you? |

| I have decals for both his 109G-6 with and without the tulip nose in 1/24th scale. |

Since I'm building kits that I usially have to cut out the print wood the Lazer cut parts provided by Dumas are really appreciated, and the hours are spent building instead of cutting. |

The yellow and blue as well as the unit insignias should prove very colorful. The instructions also provides printed color swatches. |

| how about erich hartmann for a plane? |
| jerry campbell, Image # 22061 | 05 Apr 11 15:56 |
I chose color scheme from a 1/24th scale Strike 'Eagle decal sheet because of the color scheme. |

As always good references are essential and I find Squadron among the best for building and detailing. |

Press on decals are provided for Green Hearts. A map of the press wood is provided and I always mark the pieces with a ball point before removing them. |

Plans are included for building a twin fuslelaged 109Z which might be fun to build sometime, although second ikit would have to be purchased. |
