  1. It's time to listen to the new Nancy's Place album.

  2. I'm slowly realising why there aren't any WiPs of the Sword Spitfire XIV... it's one of those kits that looks good on the sprue but doesn't go together well.

      That's a shame to hear, I have always wanted to buy a sword spitfire 

       

      good luck

      Rob, don't let the fact that the XIV's cockpit makes the fuselage spread so much you need to do some serious shaving of the wingroots, after cutting the bottom part of the instrument panel off and shaving the sides of what's left (and trimming bit the seat fits on) and that it also interferes with the rear part of the lower wing meeting the fuselage or that the lower wing has excess plastic, which doesn't help with the fit, put you off.

      The Sword Vc and Merlin Seafire go together pretty well.

      Well in that case Simon, I'm sold.... nothing like a punishing build to blow the cobwebs away!

      Is that a real thing? Even if not, I'm desperate to see it now...

       

      Hope you and yours have a good Christmas mate,

       

      Cheers,

      It's not, sadly.

       

      Merry Christmas to you too.

      Gah, I knew it was too good to be true, but I shall live in hope that one day...

       

      Thanks Simon, it has been pretty merry so far and I am on the 15 year old single malt now so I expect it to improve further henceforward. May yours be as jolly :) 

       

      Cheers,
