Honoring Edgar Brooks, a Spitfire researcher and contributor to many modelling forums, we have the Every Mark of Spitfire GB -- in which at least one of each will be built, not in a free-for-all, but to a "plan".
The GB runs from 27 Feb 2016 to 10 April and your host are Martin R and Sir T.

Many thanks for your support to this GB. Builds are, without exception, first rate, and there was a real collective spirit about the place with free sharing of ideas and spare parts as required.

It's been a real pleasure to lead, but I must acknowledge my fellow GBL, Stuart (Sir T) who put a lot of effort in to ensure comms were maintained when I was not available to post.

Regards

Martin
No problem Martin - it was your baby, I'm just glad I could help.

Cheers

Martin,

OT's asked for a 48 hour extension - I didn't think that was unreasonable.

Anyone else?

Cheers

That's absolutely fine by me. I hope that GF finishes his model as well because at the moment we don't have a MkV!

Thanks for a Wizard GB, Skipper Martin and Adj. Sir T. It's been a damned good show, amongst top hole chaps of the highest calibre.
Btw, I've edited some of my completed pics with some better quality ones with my new phone camera.

Just leting you know my Spit MKVI is finished but I can't get pics up for a little while. Camera problems preventing this but I'll soon get it sorted.

All the best.

Amd many thanks to all you builders for the commitment you've shown.

With O_T's builds safely in the barn, I've asked John to lock down the GB.

I updated my Mk# list with OT's Indian job this morning. Are we waiting for Greg and Martin's missing ones? Greg's is ready except he's having picture problems.

I vote wait for Greg's at least. Martin, how's yours coming or should we lock without it finished?

Sorry, I had forgotten about Greg's MkVI. We definitely want that one on the list. Whether you want to wait for my PRIV (a modified Mk I) is another question. I haven't made much progress this week an from now on it'll be sharing bench time with the Do335.

Regards

I can, if necessary, edit both Greg & Martin pix into that thread after lock-down.
Let's wait on Greg and see how it goes after Li'l Greg teaches him how to use a camera :)

Hi Folks.
It turned out it wasn't a camera issue but the laptop and camera were not talking so to speak. The laptop has been identified as the culprit so it's in for repair as there are other issues with it too. I'll try and get over to Sarah's mums house and upload the pics fro there. Am posting this at work and I can't upload them from here.Sorry about this delaying things folks.

All the best.
