I have checked the Sqns that flew Spitfires and 208 Sqn flew the Vc then the FRXVIII so I could be persuaded. Depending on the when put me down as a ‘possible’.

The last FRXVIII, I saw in kit form was the early MPM offering, which was a bear of a kit. Now, perhaps somebody could persuade MPM/Special Hobby to bring out a new tooled version. Ah the days of extra thick sprue gates, vac canopies and white metal parts..
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

OK, I will pencil this in as 15 Aug - 30 Sep, but we do not appear to have a GBL for it.
Thank you all for your interest, we'll get it sorted soon.
