That Spitfire collection ranges from the intriguing to the fabulous  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well that's another one done and dusted.
Had my entries officially entered by Buzzbomb as usual on Friday and caught up with Comrade Harps as per our standing agreement today (although he did find me early at the other end of the hall - maybe he was stalking me).
There seemed to be more models entered this year.  Or maybe that's just me.  I'm sure Buzzbomb will be along soon to give us the official word.
Lots of good models, some of which I took pictures.  I'll post them here soon.
Of particular note was the IPMS themed display which this year took the form of a whole heap of Spitfires with alternative paint jobs.
All in all another good show.

:thumbsup:

Actually I heard your voice and thought, that sounds familiar.

Dad joke: That lamington Spitfire takes the cake!
Whatever.

Perhaps we could run a GB with rules like that? By definition they're all Whiffs.  ;) ;D
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! :)

Sounds fun!  Simple kit, lots of decoration...........call it "from the sublime to the cor-blimey". I'm in if we do it!

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Sigh! Next year! Sigh! :-\

Less than 12 months to wait!  :o

And before you know it there will only be six months to go and you'll start panicking about what you want to take. Happens every year regarding S.M.W.  ;)

I wonder if it's got a RW paint job under the chocolate & coconut and if it'll all wash off?

Having seen this built one in the flesh at Expo, having wanted one for ages, and because Comrade Harps didn't tell me not to (blame shifting - my speciality.  It's never my fault) I ordered one of these last night.
