Great choice Daz. IIRC it should build up in about 3 hours. :lol:

Are you using the kit decals?

This will be a spares box job, once I can locate which Spit it was I was going to build! All I can remember was it was a camouflaged example - NOT a blue/grey-painted example.

Woah, slow down.

You didn't even have a needlessly elaborate sandwich yet.

Well, I stopped to get dressed, have a ham and cheese sandwich and a cuppa, so now it's back onto it....

Anyone get the feeling that Daz might have built one of these before?

Pictures of sandwiches are always welcome.

Pictures of getting dressed… maybe not so much.
