I’m in, I nearly got to fly in one at Leeming many years ago as part of an ATC instructors Principles of Flight course, but the aircraft allocated to us was needed for something else just before my turn. Rats!

Coming along nicely, although a bit of a ‘ Curate’s egg ‘ ( look it up in old English expressions )
I don’t remember the moulded on gun patches but I haven’t made any of my Eduard late model Spitfires yet.

PS: The last time we were in London ( 2023 ) we saw lots of people wearing gym clothing and carrying coffee. Also lots of Teslas, I wonder if there are as many around now?

It’s turning into a bit of a putty ( gloop ) monster, but I’m sure you’ll sort it.

PS: My man cave stays cool because the house is built on a slope and it is partly dug into lt which also means that the humidity is fairly high in the winter, but you can’t have everything.

Thanks Chris, I was hoping there would be a short intake in my long abandoned Hobby Boss Mk V, but it was the 'trop' version and there wasn't.

Just discovered that the carb intake is missing from my almost completed Kotare Spitfire Mk1, and can’t find a suitable replacement in my spares box. I think the part from the Revell Spitfire would fit if anyone has one lying about.

Ennio Morricone has indeed written some beautiful music.
One of my all time favourite films is ‘ Once Upon a Time in the West ‘ for which he wrote the music. Many years ago we stayed in a small hotel in Umbria which was owned by a lady who had been involved in it’s filming, and her main job was to perch on top of a large crane alongside a cameraman and operate a reel to reel tape player which was used to choreograph some of the scenes.

PS: I never did get to gallop along a beach. My wife belonged to a riding club in the UK that did it, but the local authorities stopped it before it got to my turn. 😪
