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

The cat has other things on her mind - such as how my finger tastes...!

Popping out for a wee while, but I shall continue on my return!

Off to a good start Daren and it's great to see a Spitfire, not a subject we see on here very often. Popping out? in a Blitz?? very cool I must say 8-)
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Some more bits attached, such as under-wing radiators, aerial mast and tailwheel. The prop has been painted, too.

Next step is to start painting the aluminium on it....!
