I may go with a Canadian clipped-wing Spit.

One of the following;
Airfix 1/48th Spitfire Mk Va, Douglas Bader 616 Squadron Tangmere 1941,
Tamiya 1/48th Spitfire Vb , 243 Squadron (have to check the date but should be okay)
Airfix 1/48th Spitfire Mk XII 91 Squadron RAF Hawkinge 1943,
First time there has been a group build and ive had a choice of kits :grin:

Go figure on the day it was suggested and without even having a confirmed build let alone date I'm good to go with what I want to build for the Luft 46 GB. Yet with two weeks till the start of the Rhubarb GB I'm still without a subject. AUGH!

I could but I need more then just a kit. I need a history to grab and pull me in. I have two weeks to scour through my collection of reference material. I should find something in time. Of course then I may need to track down decals. But thats a problem for a another time

This idea started with me with a set of Aeromaster decals.

Maybe that would be the place to start.

That's very kind of you Andrew but could you find them now that all your stuff is packed? :ha:

I will keep this in mind. You are a true friend of the plastic

They are at the top of a box which is easily accessible until the weekend. After that I will have to don a hard hat and steel toed boots to get them :-D
