A pair of you blitzing "Blitzbau House" style then Stoaty? That should make for some interesting viewing, pesky time zones permitting. A morning Oz time start will be around late evening here I should imagine, but ho hum there's nothing we can do about that. Best of luck and it'll be interesting to see what you're building.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

A blitz started, that's great!
We need to see a kit and sprue shot with clock of start time. ;-)
I'm curious of which Lightning kit. :)
Confused as always, and somewhere in hiding on the Scandinavian peninsula...

Kits with the clock. I am doing the Lightnng F6 form Matchbox, 1976 vintage. Alpha has chosen the somewhat more modern Mig 3, and is ambitiously planning a base for it too.

Great choices. Have you read DespondMan's build for the Mig-3?

Airframes of both together and progressing well. I have masked the canopy on the Mig for Alpha and doing the Lightning one now.

Mmm...delicious. Is that a flounder?

Quick work too!
