YESSSSSSSSSSSS!  :thumbsup:

Way to go Duncan!  :cheers:

Your build may even stun me into action so that I finally start to build mine, but that raises the age old question of RW or Whiff? Of course the prototype has been done to death, ie everyone who's built one so far (apart from OGL.... ;)) has done the prototype, so I guess I've answered my own question.  ;D

Good to see you working on a "proper aeroplane" for once Dunc  :thumbsup:

Kit how about SEAC for yours ? I did my Planet kit as "Dooleybird" and I think OGL may have as well ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Maybe, it could escort my Twin Spitfires, which were escorting the Tiger Force Lincolns etc.......  ;D

my Dooleybird was the RR eagle engined Tempest.
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

I made the skybird kit for mb5
Lots of works but be advise that the landing gear will bend after a while.the addition of that much plastic and metal is too much.

slight topic hijack..... I have a Skybirds 86 Scimitar that I have decided not to build, all parts present with some cleaning up of the parts and some fettling carried out for dry fitting purposes only. Reasonable offer accepted.

Shame to see that marbled plastic go!  Could have been an experimental camo... :drink:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Duncan could always re-spray it after the build of course.......  ;)

Mind you, he's doing extremely well getting that far WITHOUT spraying it at all! I was always going to spry mine in primer BEFORE I started to build it, I go cross-eyed just looking at the thing in the box!
