Re: Daz's Great Escape Blitz
Sorry to hear that, Daren. The flu has had a large number of victims this season. Get well soon!

Re: Daz's Great Escape Blitz
Right, so the first available date for this Blitz is......
VALENTINE'S DAY.
Yep, show the woman that you love her by building a plastic Spitfire!
Fun and games to commence approx. 3pm.

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

Daz everyone loves a Blitz why should she be any different?
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Daz's Great Escape Blitz - **Feb. 14th - 1500hrs**
So, after a wee delay, I got to work.....
The usual shot of the kit bits....
The first thing to get assembled was the seat...
Then some painting of the innards followed....
Then the wings were assembled....
...and the fuselage.
The black bits were painted next....
I painted both sets of wheels, as I haven't decided yet whether to do it with the gear down.
I imagine it'll start to resemble a Spitfire before teatime!

Nice one. At this rate you will have this done by 7pm and then be able to take your better half out for a pint followed by something really romantic like a greasy kebab or a fish supper, thereby killing two birds with one stone. Don't bother thanking me for passing on that great strategy, it's all part of the service.

You were doing so well with "able to take your better half out for something really romantic" and then you ruined it!ShaunW wrote:Nice one.

Good start Daren; it looks the part already!

Great start it looks like you might have done this type of thing before

Re: Daz's Great Escape Blitz - **Feb. 14th - 1500hrs**
So, after a dinner break, I started slinging paint around. First one wing....
....then the other.
I'll tidy up the join when I come to do the next coat.
Still haven't decided on the wheels-up/wheels-down option, though!
I need to pop out for a couple of hours, but I'll be back on the model when I return!
