SaltyScot Posted January 4 #36 Posted January 4 One of my fondest memories is sitting in the cockpit of a Spitfire at the Farnborough air show when I was a boy. For the longest time my mother had kept a picture she took on that day but with all the moving around I did once I joined the military and her passing away over 15 years ago the pic has been misplaced. The Spitfire is my all time favorite WWII aircraft (I particularly like the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin engines!). Along with the Avro Lancaster, they epitomize the excellence of British engineering throughout the early 30's and 40's. I do not possess the experience and skills to even consider finishing a kit like this (your work is exceptional by the way, a real joy to behold), but there is no reason that I can't learn, right?? I am going to save this build, if only for the reason that I can come back and look at the amazing work you did on the interior before the whole thing got put together. king derelict, Canute, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Mark On the table: Endeavour 1934 - J Class Racing Yacht Wishlist: Ernest Shackleton's Endurance (Wikipedia Link) - OCCRE Kit Link Racing Yacht America - 1/8 Scale from America Wood Ship Models The elevator to success is out of order.
