I'll be contributing this beastie to the proceedings:

As the thread title suggests, I'll be doing "Big Ass Bird II".

We've all had dates like that mate......

Anyway, about the model. Is this the only 'Big Scale' Jug in the GB? There's a lot of 1/72nd's going on, but this might just be the biggest Jug in the GB.

Looking forward to this one.

Looking forward to seeing this one take shape, the kit markings are also very interesting as they have both been copied for surviving warbirds (wonder if these are available in 1/72??? (a future plan forms))

I'm still trying to come to terms that this isn't a Spit :)

I bet it will be really; Daz would never make anything else! I mean, if he has to build a Messerschmitt he does ones that can be fitted with Rolls Royce Engines!
