I made the mistake of agreeing to build one last year. It wasn't pretty
Still, can't be worse than a Starfix.
Can it?

I've built a couple of Starfix kits that came out fine!

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
Daz - could you finish my 1/24 Harrier for me?
Seriously, you've done a great job on both. I bet you friend was pleased with them.
Cheers
Stuart
p.s Starfix Rocks!

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
No, no, I think I'm fine for 1/24th stuff for now!
I still reckon we should do a Starfix GB, you know!

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
Are you sure? I have poorly fitting resin intakes to go with it?
I'd go for that - though I doubt we'd get 8 people insane enough to join it

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
We've got two - that's a start!
For the haters, though, not all Starfix kits are THAT bad. I did a Zero recently that was pretty good, and I saw someone on Facebook do the F-5 kit and it turned out quite well.
So there!

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
That PM F-5 kit is horrible. It is easier to carve one from filler.

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
blast it, Daz!
Sometimes I see something that triggers my hankering for a large scale model. This time it was your post.
They look awesome, I said to myself.
Way bigger than anything I'd ever build, I opined
...but maybe 1:32 would be okay.
A few youtube build videos later, and I suddenly found myself the owner of 1:32 Revell FW-190!
So much shelf space, gone. Just like that!
Seriously though, those are neat looking builds.

I know the feeling well. I'm starting to accumulate a small force of 1/32 stuff myself!
Revell Spitfire IIa (with another potentially on the way)
Revel Spitfire IX (the new one)
Revell Mosquito
And I'm contemplating the Matchbox Messerschmitt 109....!!

Re: I am NEVER doing this again!!!!!
Just to tempt you, I have just had an email from JAdlamracing (No connection to me in any way) advertising 1/24th Airfix Spitfire Vb's at £29.99
Best wishes

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
