Good choice of weekend for this; the clocks going back give you an extra hour!
Good work so far!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I did think of that iggie and my new target is now 15.00 hrs GMT which will make just 24 hours from the 16.00 hrs BST start time. I now have 3 hrs 45 min. to the finish, the model has now been painted light grey on the underside using Revell Aqua 76.

Still painting the main colour scheme, the propeller has been assembled and is also being painted, the undercarriage has already been painted and is ready to be fitted.

Re: Lancfan's Spitfire Vb "Flash Blitz"
This is so awesome David! I wish I could get a weekend all to myself to sit at the bench and build. I might steal a couple hour here and there, but it’s rare.
Your blitz is really coming along. Love those Airfix kits.

Great work thus far David. Still following. This kit would make an excellent candidate for a SKGB. plenty of scope for mods and markings.
All the best.
