That Blenheim turned out really well Mav and I'm loving the Lanc and that Spit production line. I've all on finishing one kit at a time let alone four!

Thanks for your kind words folks!
I have made progress on the Mk.VB Tropical, her decals have almost been applied, the black nose section has been painted and just needs tidying up, wing decals still need finding, the tail is almost finished, I now just need to paint the canopy and fit the propeller.

Ok folks I know people were abit unsure to say the least about the pics I posted of the Spit but shes nearly finished!
All thats left to so is add the wing markings and clear coat it.
To give an idea of how far this little model has come here is a pic of what she was like for a long time(just under a year):

Here is a pic of her at her current stage:

And finally here is a pic of her with her much younger sister:

C&c welcome as always.

Nice Spit Mav and it looks good displayed next to that rather smart looking F-16.

She is a prototype Tornado GR.

Work to clean her has taken place and now it is just a case of putting her back together and replacing a few decals.

I presume that is the old Airfix Tornado Mav. Oh dear, she was looking rather sorry for herself. Did you manage to clean up the paint and avoid having to redo it?

Very smart models. Love the crisp camouflage scheme. It really suits the Hawk.
