Andy Dighton's workbench

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
So, a couple of days after completing the 18 year BBMF project, my son comes home from work with this. He picked this up for £20 from a second hand shop. I nearly cried.

On the bench at the moment. I have a Trumpeter Sea Fury. It was going to be the SS Oriana but after making it to the bench, my bottle went. So it's gone back to the stash.
Progress so far on the Sea Fury.

I have to admit to laughing out loud at this...

So, another Lancaster, a Hurricane and a later mark Spitfire... That's about two weeks work for you isn't it Andy?

The Trumpeter Sea Fury is a really nice kit as I recall. I did a rubbish job on it years ago and don't think it is restorable. Be good to see yours done as and when Andy.

Spitfire turned out great Andy. Looks very nice in the collection you have going there.

The picture also reminds me I have to dust out my cabinet. It is not clean like yours. I just hate doing it because I always damage my models while doing so.

It's 2 Spitfires and a Lancaster Stuart. Probably because Airfix doesn't have a tin wing Hurricane available.(Hint, hint Airfix). I do like the fact that it comes with a three pronged stand, so it will probably all be built wheels up. If I do get round to building this one of the Spitfires will be replaced with a Hurricane IIc. I'd also leave a lot of the detail out from the Lancaster. You can't see much when it's finished anyway.

Thanks PGAS. Believe me it wasn't clean a week ago. I have 3 cabinets like this and I've just put quite a few older models into storage to make room for future builds.

It's a nice kit as you say but blimey, it's fiddly in places.
