Once again thanks and congratulations to all who entered and turned this into another successful GB.  There are now a few less Spits in the stashes of the world, and that's what its all about.

Nice one, Ed - a very well-deserved win!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thumbs up to everyone else too: lots of good entries!

I particularly liked Ysi and Nimras' re-engined Spits: partly for the delicious heresey, and partly for just how damn good they look....... :wub:

Excellent Ed, your Stormbird is built in true sense of Whiffery for sure.

Well done.  :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well done, Ed, a radical departure from the basic Spitfire and nicely executed.  I will admit there were times when I couldn't tell quite how the build was going to go (distinct lack of imagination on my part, I can assure you!), but nothing less than convincing once finished.  Your next effort is to turn a Pe-2 (which to me the 'Stormbird' resembles) into a single seat, single engined fighter perhaps??  ;D ;D
