Kit's FR.18 and F.22 **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.

They both look great. The wash stage is where I get all trembly and scared. I've yet to fully commit to going over a whole aircraft like that :)

Nice work with the wash; always a scary time, 'will it come off again.....?!!'
Best wishes

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

Thanks guys

Just make sure you have a nice glossy surface (does work on matt but gives a different effect) and make sure it is dry, not tacky. Don't ask how I know that one :roll: :oops:
