Never been involved in a group build before but I doubt this will be my last one a very enjoyable day along with a great bunch of fellow modellers.

keefr22 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Brilliant stuff Andy - I spent 4 hours at the bench today and finally managed to fit two resin instrument consoles and ejection seats to my current aeroplane build - I'd need a 24 month blitzbuild...!!

No time for 2k clear mate but tbh I'm happy with the results anyway π. For some reason today I've got the urge for an aircraft build and maybe a crack at some armour so interesting times ahead π 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
