Thanks. Quick isn't my strong suit but I'll have a go.

Well, I think that's us done now, chaps.

Thanks to everyone who took part. We had a good number of finishes (25, I think). I dunno about anyone else, but I certainly enjoyed it - six in a month is something of a record for myself, especially as three of them were kits that I hadn't built before!

Nice one, Daz - sorry I couldn't get done in time, but a terrific number of finishes and some excellent modeling!

Definitely fun to do something other than the normal stuff, although I will do a Spit and a Hurricane for this anniversary some time. Looking forward to the 80th!!! :lol: :lol:

Please make your final remarks, as I will archive it Monday evening.

Well Done, Daren !!

I did enjoy building something other than the usual Spits and Hurricanes (although nothing wrong with those!). Good to see a lot of members take part so it seems the Battle is still important even after 75 years!.
P.S. I have started my 1/48th Airfix Hurricane I. Hope to pose it on take-off sort as in the Battle of Britain era. Have a Spitfire in the same scale to go with it. :grin:
