Congrats Taffy!!! First GB and first completion! Nice!
That's hell of a dirty girl and maybe there is something wrong with me, but I like them this way :evil_laugh: . Great stuff Taffy! I enjoyed the ride, thanks!
So, what's next?

Cheers,

Thanks very much - any time mate been a long road but I made it ----- Thanks to the time extensions!!! :rolleyes:

Yeh dirty girls :hmmm: sure my mother said something about them!!!!

Anyway next – Well already started a new thread about a gun and truck – a no wings project!! Then could be ether 1:24 P51 or Hurrican IID? Or It seems that I have caught the “lets get scratchy” bug that is going around here. I have started doing the drawings – so don’t know if this will be out of my depth but hay got give it a go. Hope to start a new thread in a few days. Have to go and play at being Santa up in the North East of England this weekend - If these winter storms don't get in the way :hmmm:. . . . Then that wouldn't be all bad news - a weekend modelling!!!

So how are your plane and tank doing? Now I have finished my panic I can start to catch up

Taff :D

Hi Loic - Thanks for the compliments. Just read the Do-335 night fighter. Wow that is out there - one day when I grow up I might get near to attempting some thing like that.

I always wait for the paper each morning. I look at the obituary column and if I’m not in it, I go to work.

Hey Taff,

Great job mate finishing one for the Group build. Such a manly scale is 1/24th.

Definitely one dirty Spit. Looks good.

Cheers Matty
