OUTSTANDING! Makes me want to go buy a plastic airplane model. 😄

 

Absolutely no no malice intended with my use of the word plastic. A plastic model would be the only way I could ever build something like this that could even resemble this level of modeling talent. 👍

Hmm.... I see space for one more airplane on that display shelf.  I'd guess it's another WWII fighter.

 

 

Edit:  Welp, I was wrong.  I just saw a new log in the kit area for a destroyer.

chin up Mark....he'll do another........the hanger's not full :D    just catching up on all the logs I've missed Chris........splendid job on the Spit!  she looks superb!  I had a poke in at your England log,  and I must say.....your doing a spectacular job thus far!  I don't think it will fit in the hanger though...soI hold hope that you'll do another ;) .......'jes say'in :D 

 

I get the same feeling concerning your build frequency.........I churned out boat after boat for a few years there........only to find myself doing what.......only one or two a year now.  it's alright though........I have quite a few 'active' projects to show for it ;)   :D    think that's funny........the admiral just figured out why I've been accumulating a stash!  {retirement is right 'round the corner ;) }

That just means that you no longer get paid for the work you still have to do! RE-TIRED is another way of saying that you are no longer on your 1st tired.:stunned::D

Amen to that, brother though there's times when I'm re-re-re-tired.  :D
