Jeff's CBK Blitz. The FROG Hornet *Finished*

Post by jssel »

Really must be mad. In the middle of two group builds and attempting a blitz. This will be a straight through 24 hour blitz. Will commence at 0600 EST.

I do love the Blitz

Great stuff Jeff, the Hornet is a great looking aircraft and it's good to see a CBK getting the Blitz treatment. Church Fenton is near to where I live in Pontefract, about 12 miles away or so and I have fond memories of attending the air displays there in my younger days. The airfield is no longer a RAF station having been sold by the Ministry of Defence in December 2013 and is now used by private general aviation.

Hey, Jeff. What is that mat you are using with the scales marked on it, please? It looks really useful.

Hi David. The cutting mat is the Humbrol issue. Has all the popular scales on it.
