Having thinned down my stash before my house move, there's probably still some options in the boxes for me.

The question is, do I do the 1/32 Revell Spit/Matchbox '109 combo, or go crazy and do the Airfix 1/24 jobs that I have??

The answer to both those questions is YES.

Personally, I'll be doing a small diorama featuring RAF Westhampnett on morning of August 14th, 1940. In 1/48, it'll feature the new Airfix kits of the Hurricane I, Spitfire I, Albion refueller and RAF figures. So I might be joining you....

I have a Blenheim 1F which 29(F) Squadron were flying on night fighter sorties during the period. I should be able to get on with that as soon as the Lightning build is finished (yep, it will take me that long!!).

And I'll already need to scale back my participation in this. I will build either the Spitfire or Hurricane only, but I've just been contracted to write another book and I'll need bench space and time for that project.
