Martin's Seafire Ib *finished* & PRs IV & XI *finished*

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.

Me neither - well not built anyway. Looking good though Martin.

I take it you're awarding yourself an extension? :-D

Thanks, chaps!

Stuart

Surely that would be an abuse of power. (Mwah hah hah hah!)

No, as its basically a Spit I, the GB doesn't need it. I'll just finish it off vefore my next GB.

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

Sorry Iggie, but pointy winged Spits are the coolest! The blue is now less 'stonewashed' and the canopy is on.

Now we'll see if my cunning plan re finishing off the painting actually works.
