stevej60 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi folk,s built for the Spitfire STGB in memory of our own Edgar Brooks in sure he would have been amused by the schoolboy error,s in my build the most obvious was on deciding to build her with wings fixed I binned all the folding wing parts only to discover the fixed wing was only for the FR46! Anyway a bit of re-scribing and a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice.800 NAS on board HMS Triumph during the Korean war,many thank,s for looking and thank,s Edgar for your help in past projects. 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
