Haven't been here since Monday last week. So what's  your excuse fool ??
Well,  I fell and fractured one left rib and my right thumb (fractured not broken).
Don't wanna whine but I hope none of you have to spend any time in an emergency
waiting 'lobby' (they called it).  It's like a nightmare form hell  .
Anyway , glad to be back , won't be much on the thunderbolt project but I'll do the
best I can.

A T-6/Harvard would make absolutely perfect sense Mike because it was the favoured next step for elementary to service flying training, so was as ubiquitous in many areas as the Tiger Moth. Most of course will be the later Mks, the II, III and IV but I’d really like to see a Mk I (edging dangerously close to wish list territory…..sorry!)

Nope, from approximately the instrument panel forward is totally different between 109K-4/G-10 and the G-6/G-14 series.  IF they continue with a similar kit, the next logical choice would be the Bf109G-10 (notwithstanding the various manufacturing facility (WNF/Diana, MTT, Erla) differences.

I think the 109 is unrivalled for its choice of camo finishes, whereas Spitfires tend to be green & brown, which isn't the most striking of paint schemes. I love the famous 109 in North African camo

 

Lynn has been involved in the development of this kit for some time already.

Pleased it’s been announced, and will definitely be getting quite a few 
 
surprised at the choice, but it will sell in bucket loads
 
also surprised in that once they decided on a 109, this was the one they went for; indeed of all the WWII variants it’s the one I would have thought the *least* likely.
 
those citing the Zoukei-mura 109 as the reason they didn’t choose the G-6 ‘family’ are very wrong in my (worthless!) opinion - there is near zero overlap / cannibalisation risk, because unless you absolutely must have an engine and all else be damned, I’ve seen enough from Kotare to realise that whatever the subject, it will be far superior to anything Z-m would churn out.
 
i am trying to put Kotare in touch with Lynn Ritger since they reached out for ‘experten’ (sic) - he is about to release a book on the technical development of the 109 covering *all* variants, and I’m not aware of anyone who knows more about the plane.

Can you post a link please?

Really great news.
At last i suppose there will be great 109 without 1000 unusefull details.
Bravo kotare and i am sure they will sell huge amount of them

Bf 109K-4...brilliant! I'm a fan of late war 109's. Will help fill Kotare's coffers for future kits.
 
A bit disappointed in the "will not buy responses" right off the bat. With the Spit many bought kits in order to keep Kotare going, without being big fans of the a/c. Myself included.
 
Oh well....

Take my money, looks spectacular.

A 109. K.
 
I am underwhelmed. I'll not be buying - a distinct lack of imagination here, a huge degree of playing it safe. 

Oh wow, a Bf-109… need to google that plane, never heard of…
Well, hopefully it will fill Kotare‘s pockets. Then they can spend the money on something not yet kitted.

Fully logical as they first need to run the money machine! However I'm a little bit surprised they did not first intend to release a G6/G14AS.

Groan!
