And I've just proved that, as here's a quick shot of the finished model, which metaphorically rolled off my line yesterday. I'll do some proper "beauty shots" in RFI soon. Eduard 1:32 Profipack from the box, and (very rarely for me) done as the boxtop option: Oblt Josef "Pips" Priller's machine of 6./JG 51, based in France in 1940.

Coming along beautifully.

A great line-up of 109s. x4

I have been known to describe myself to lay people (non-modellers!) as "one of those grown-ups who still plays with Airfix Kits". Seems we don't have a spare flying fig to give between us.

I like a good Starfighter, so I'll be watching. Interesting photos, particularly the stencil almost top and centre of the first photo where it says "Munitionsladegerat": if you put a stencil on like that on a model, people would just think you'd been a bit careless.

Tempting, very tempting ...

Those are excellent, well done.

Happened to me at Telford one year, it concerned the colour on a Makin Island-based P-39. I'm afraid he got a good stiff ignoring.

Yes, I'd rather like one too.

Me too.

That is really unusual, I like it. Superb work as well.

Very nicely done.

There's a lot of work gone into that; beautiful finish.

True: when I was about 11 I did a free-flying balsa-and-tissue rubber band powered aeroplane, and it met a similar fate. At that moment I decided to stick to our sort of model aircraft. You have to feel for the owner.

"You're not going to sabotage his aeroplane are you Sir?" "Of course not Courtney - you are."
