Sometimes the talent consists exactly in that: try five dozen times when others stop at three dozen...! (F.Labelle)
I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk I 92 Sqd, Flown by Lt RRS Tuck over Dunkirk.

Tuck scored the first two victories over Dunkirk in first combat action flying to protect the evacuation. In short order Tuck would be an ace, and by the time he was shot down over France on January 28th 1942 he was one of the leading British aces with over 29 confirmed kills. Tuck would become part of the Great Escape Opeperation, but did not get out during the big escape. He later did escape to first Poland then Russia and made his way home from the Russian port of Odessa.

The subject of this build is Wing Cdm Colin Gray's Spitfire Mk XIV in 1/48 using the HobbyCraft kit. Gray fought in every mark of spit starting in December of 1939 and ammassed 27.5 kills. He was highly sceptical of the claims of German pilots and felt their scores where greatly overblown.
