This is great work, Adrian. Very impressive. Ian

Sweet work! What a great build. Ian

Great build, mate, and I love your comments about stretching yourself as a modeler. It really adds to the satisfaction, doesn't it. Well done.

This is coming on nicely Kev. Looking forward to more. Cheers Ian

Hi Kev Been lurking for a while, haven't had time to model but I'll be watching this build with interest. I have one in the stash, and played around with it a year or two back. I have the Aero Detail book, but would recommend grabbing the Hasegawa kit in 1/48th and using it as a reference for rebuilding the cockpit. Best of luck ! Ian

Some nice work here mate. Most inspiring. Ian

It's all relative, mate. Keep in touch. I'll work out the postage as an exercise in the mean time. I'll send a PM. Cheers Ian

Kev Only just caught up on this thread. I think I've got two Matchbox E's in the stash, so I could afford to lose one. See how you go at Box Hill this w/e. If you strike out drop me a line and we'll work something out. Cheers Ian

Mate, I can see how you earned the re-animator tag. This is a fascinating build! And your defence of the skerrick of perfectly acceptable scratch building you were forced to use was up there with Eric "Otter" Stratten's defence of the toga party in Animal House-a classic of its kind! Ian

I second Rookie's comment mate. I've been stalled a bit too, finished (nearly) a 1/48 George, but I've got my "stalled build" Spit to get back to and a 1/48 Monogram Phantom waiting for SEAC camo. You were my guide, since I've never attempted such a paint job. Keep at it, son! Love the 'hog, btw. Ian

What a great build! I'd never have the skill for this type of work, but it certainly had me wanting to re-read the "Camels are Coming". Grabbing Ginger and Algy and setting out after that chap in the "Ace Of Spades" Fokker, What Ho! Beautiful work, mate. Ian

As Charles says, it's the C, and definitely old wine in a new bottle. I bought it, couldn't resist the price, and it looks quite nice on the sprues. Squadron still have the Eduard detail set for the G in stock, out of interest. TC liked it , too. http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/axis/previews/5523.htm

She's coming on well, Erwin. I've got a Mexican copy of this in the stash, but have never started one. I second Keith's comments on how hard it is to imagine you stalled given your habitual speed! My Spit is still well and truly stalled, although given the C 40 degree temperatures we 've been having here of late getting out into my workshop hasn't been that appealing!

Nice slick Erwin. Good to see you back mate. Cheers Ian

Mate, I had the same thing on my Spit-really frustrating, I know how you feel. Deep breaths!
