It's the good ol' YCNHTM Spitfire GB - any kit, any scale, any era, and mark, it's just got to be a Spitfire/Seafire ...
Runs 28 February through 29 March and your hosts are Lancfan and Paul Bradley.

Nah, nothing serious, just a pain! A blown fuse in his viv, but of course I didn't have any fuses in the house! :roll:

Sorted now, and Spitfire-related hijinks have recommenced.

Thanks to Lancfan and Paul for overseeing us in this, :beer:
A couple of 'must do sometime' subjects can now be struck off my list, and my stash is reduced by all of two models.

You mean we'd have to wait a full year? :shock:

Surely if we put our heads together we could find some anniversary or other excuse to do another Spit GB before that :-D

He was born May 20th 1895, so this year he'd have been 120.

Well, with Martin's model complete, the GB is now officially over. Many thanks to everyone for their participation; whether their model was completed or not, it was a lot of fun! :-D 8-)

Now, we ought to think about next year's Spitfire GB theme - after all, as someone once said - "You can never have too many Spitfires!" :ha: The Spitfire first flew in 1936, so next year is the 80th anniversary..............................................................

March 5th 1936 - March 5th 2016 happens to be a Saturday, an ideal time to start a GB ;-)
But to be fair we should have a GB for the Hurricane's first flight, in November [6th, which is a Friday this year]

I fully agree Paul, how about repeating the event in March next year? Also, we managed 19 completions this year- Dare we dream of making 80 builds between all the builders taking part next year?
Fred, there is already an Hurricane GB booked for this year- in May.

I'd be up for that. We'll need to make it official with a sign up in, say, September, so we can get it on the calendar. I suppose that we could really push for participation, given the anniversary, to get that many completions - 80 would certainly be a stunning achievement.....
