I have decided to change plans as I am a bit snowed under with group build's so I am lowering my scale to this airfix kit.

A slight change of plan as I have decided to go small as I have put myself up for to many group builds so this is my victim.

Just back from a toy fair managed to bag an unboxed airfix 1\24 fw190 for £15 and a airfix 1\24 109 for £40 with a revell hurricane thrown in for free.

I have been on a mission to complete some of my half built kits. And this is my first victim short on parts but a half decent kit but I am pleased with the results.

This one is the second half of a group build that I am doing elsewhere it's the all Bell's and whistles fully airbrushed kit with some pe seatbelts. And pictured next to the kit only build.

It's taken a while to finish this one as I had a couple of pieces go missing so I had to buy a new one as I had no joy with airfix but on the whole a nice kit to build with no problems. I haven't put any rigging on as I had nothing suitable.

I have a revell 1/32 scale I would like to enter as I am itching to get my paws on it I just need an excuse.

Just over four feet

Its 1/250

Time to bring this build up to date while waiting for a spitfire to dry I picked up the two ships and started transfering some parts over from the doner ship it's just mainly vents and railings some cranes from aft and some parts on the fore deck. And I have tried some figures out for size although they are 1\200 scale they are a tad bit big so I might be a case of amputation of the feet.

Mind you I should have added that you don't have to do the second part.

That about sums it up I couldn't have put it better but I would like to add a twist to the theme after the original starter kit has been built get another of the same kit and build in the normal way chucking everything at it and picturing them side by side to show the difference between the two build styles. A kind of a two part group build.

I could make the allowance providing that the paint is the basic colours supplied with starter kit if you can get where I am coming from.

To add I would like to propose at the end of the group build we all take the same kit and throw all the bells and whistles at it and photograph them side by side.

I haven't been a member for long so I have missed them.
