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

I've just dribbled all over my sodding keyboard now..... :shock: :-D :-D

I like the sound of the JAMAICAN DRUMMERS: Chicken drummers drenched in a pineapple jerk sauce, grilled over the hot coals for that extra added smoky goodness. Served with our very own cheesy corn... :grin: :grin:
Best wishes

I wonder if we could book that place for a Blitzbau?

Anyway, I got a bit distracted with the footy but I managed to slip in a few more calories as I could feel myself wasting away!

I also unmasked the Spit and have given the top side a coat of Klear ready for decals. It must be time for a shot with a clock:

Image

Some touch ups are needed on the underside before that can have a klear coat. I will leave the canopy frame work until last as I hate it!

Should have this done in plenty of time.

Looking good, OT. The beans on toast that is. The plane is pretty nifty too, I suppose..
Is this your sanderling?.

Not as impressive as cottage pie that's for sure. :)

Well this could be where the whole blitz goes pear shaped. I can't remember where I got these decals or how old they are :???:

So let's roll the dice. Wish me luck.

Fingers and toes crossed O-T. They look OK from here. But I am a long way away. You can always sacrifice a wing walk. Oops that could be the flag.

The good luck wishes must have worked.

I even remembered to put the star at the top of the roundal. Well chuffed.

A short intermission now for some chow.

Looking good OT.
Considering the current situation in Syria this brings a whole new light to the Syrian Air Force.

Yes it does bring back the good old days when the country was at peace - and we sold them weapons. :???:

SWAMBO came through again. Lovely Sunday Roast.

Next i had better do something about the canopy frame work and prop.

We don't have Sunday roasts, on account of The Tall Vegetarian Wife being… well, vegetarian. Which is how she got her name. That and being tall. I suppose I could hop down to the 'spoons and get one and a few pints of Devil's Backbone American IPA. But that would be cheating.

Model doesn't look half bad.

I had pizza for Sunday lunch. And pints. But your tucker looks much nicer. Glad the decals behaved. Going to a gig now, best of luck for the finish!
