Hi Greg

That's a good selection of kits the Saladin is a nice simple build, the New Spitfire is almost a shake and bake model and the PM Beechcraft is a nice kit.

I think the other two Matchbox and frog kits will make it the challenge.

Good luck.

Regards

The Frog is out of contention unfortunately. It's decals are U/S. I have spares in my decal stash but I really don't want to try find them. Cheers for encouragement guys. More pics will be taken shortly but one of the Saladin will be sans smoke grenade launchers because the carpet (well laminate in this case) monster got one.
Cool pic Flack. Nice one.

All the best.

Just put the first coat of paint on the Beechcraft. The Saladins hulls and turrets are together. The Gladiator's airframe is together, as is that of the Mystere IVA. Thats the story so far. Off to make a cuppa then I'll take a couple of pictures.

All the best.

I will need that luck Bruce. I'm already behind where I wanted to be but building continues and I'll get as many done as I can. The Spitfire will be the first fall kit if I decide I won't get all six done in time.

All the best.

Well. The first two are completed. The Beech and the Gladiator are done. The Spitfires airframe is built and to be honest I'm tired so I'm off to bed. Here's the pics so far.
