Daz's Silver Lady - CANCELLED

Post by DazDaMan »

My first build for this GB will be this:

Well, technically speaking, it'll be the BBMF's Spitfire PS915, which currently wears the same markings.

Chosen kit is this:

My girlfriend got me this one for Christmas a couple of years ago, and somehow I've managed not to build it yet!

I've heard it's a nice kit, too, so I'm looking forward to it.

That is one of the better kits from the early batches after Hornby took over. The open canopy option lends itself to a Eduard zoom set that enhances the build.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Sad to say I haven't touched either of my two Spitfire builds lately. Been too tied up with work and building the utter pig that is the Airfix 1/24th scale Hurricane I was asked to do for a friend.

I will try to at least get this one started this week.

Sorry chaps, I can't see me getting a start on this one this week, for a number of reasons.

I'll have to rethink what to do for this GB.
