PTs Bombfire of the vanities - LF XVI highback**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.

Cheers chaps.
Minor hiccup on the decal front, The kits 'Z' code letter is significantly bigger than the 'LO' Squadron codes kindly supplied by Daz. Nil desperandum, I can make a 'Z' from the 'B' supplied. I was looking like finishing this today, but decal surgery is always time consuming, especially as I have serials to decalbash too. Looks like a tomorrow finish.

Great stuff! And your new camera (phone?) makes it much easier to see the quality work :-D
Best wishes

Cheers chaps, it was a bit of a rush to finish it...and the pitot tube is in the belly of the carpet monster, I'll need to scratch another.

Awwwww Iggie! now you've made me think, "I could have done one of a 1970's Raymond Baxter, standing in front of a Spit, in a scene from the Battle of Britain documentary he presented"...a tribute within a tribute within a tribute :ha:
