Well done with the fiddly bits. If you don’t mind me saying, your interior colour looks a little too green to me but it could be just the lighting John. 🇺🇦

Don’t have one yet, but I’m sure it won’t be too long, so I’ll follow yours if I may. John 🇺🇦

for anything that matters

Another step into the 21st century! Our main source of heating for the last 18 years has been a wood burner which now requires several replacement parts which will cost more than it is now worth. After much discussion we have opted for a pellet burner as the novelty of splitting and lugging logs around has worn off and there are now plenty of pellets produced in France rather than imported from Canada, which was the case 10 years ago. Our new stove has arrived and we are now waiting for a flue, which has to be fitted and certified by a specialist for insurance reasons, to be installed in our existing chimney on 17 November, which is the first date available. Thanks to a mild autumn so far we have managed to stay warm just using our background central heating for a few hours in the evenings but we are looking forward to having something more controllable than just a log burner, even though we loved having it. We are beginning to build up a supply of pellets in our barn which is now dry thanks to the recent roof replacement, and we have a sack-trolley left over from our horse owning days for transporting the bags. Enjoy Telford if you’re going, and stay safe everyone. John. 🇺🇦

can’t wait ‘til Friday

You’re getting there with the wing root join. The rest looks good to me, even the dreaded underwing to rear fuselage join which often seems to be problematic in Spitfire kits. John. 🇺🇦

Naughty boy, what has your Uncle Giorgio told you about always floss glossing first! 😜 John. 🇺🇦

"There I was with nothing on the altimeter and that was fading fast…" My line usually started with ‘There I was with nothing on the clock but the makers name, and that was scratched.’ John. 🇺🇦

This one seems to have passed me by so I’ll look forward to seeing it next year. John🇺🇦

It looks very promising, the only drawback being the need for detail painting if like me, your manual dexterity and eyesight is not what it used to be. Also following with interest. John. 🇺🇦

That’s a good start. I will be interested to see how the True Metal wax finish turns out, I’ve only used it for small parts so far. Good luck. John. 🇺🇦
