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

It is an older tooling and one that I much prefer over the new tool mark 1a kit, it won't be a flash blitz as it will be planned and announced in the normal way as a personal blitz build BUT it won't be a BoB build, it will be a fictional follow on to a W.E. Johns book "Biggles goes to War" http://www.biggles.info/Details/15/; and will come complete with a short back story
