Coming from you Ian, that is praise indeed, many thanks! 

Of course I could re-scan the decals in 1/48 if you'd like to do one down there in Kiwi-land? 

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

No thanks my friend. Got a 1:48 Mk22/24 and some French decals that will be brought together, kicking and screaming, though...

Sadly the Jubilee Spitfire is no more. 

I'd 'stored' it in the Projects Area in my model room while I was doing the Eagle B1 Special and the DC9 prototype, and this evening I dug into the shelves to retrieve it and it fell off the back down into the depths below. In the process of trying to get it out again I nudged the Projects shelf a bit and squashed the model flat! It's flatter than flat, even the canopy has shattered into a zillion parts, it's THAT flat! 

I've got more than one Airfix PR19 Spitfire of course (doesn't everyone?) and I can re-print the decals easily but I'm a tad disheartened now and it'll take a while to get the 'Jubilee' Mojo' back up and running.

Meanwhile there's only 59 un-finished projects to get on with......... <sigh>

Sorry to hear of your loss Kit.

That will be me then as I have a Fujimi PR19 so didn't bother buying the Airfix version.

Meanwhile there's only 59 un-finished projects to get on with......... <sigh>

That's a very precise number, but then your an Engineer so precision is to be expected. I have no idea how many started yet unfinished projects I have, and I am only including the ones where have got out of the box and parts stuck together.

When Mrs_PR19 and I carried out our 'census' of my Loft in Feb 2012 we got to 1000 un-built kits and gave up, but we also counted 62 models 'in build' and since then I've done some and started others (!) so I have a pretty good handle on how many I'm working on.
