We're about half thru the GB now.
No letting up anyone, especially anyone who plans to build another after finishing one [or two]

I might try to fit in the Bf109 I have, if I can find a suitable paint scheme to do - and I can't think of many '109Es in films! :???:

I also have a Spitfire XVI sitting in the queue.

I've dug out the original boxing of the MIG21. It'll be built almost OOB with the exception of rather than having a single centreline tank giving it twin tanks under the wings using a spare tank from another Matchbox MIG21.
So, can I play?

All the best.

Speak to me peeples ~
Will everyone be finished on the 4th, or 5th at the latest?

Looking thru the builds it looks like some will be but other builds may require maybe an extra 3 days?

Hey Fred really sorry but due to my daughter being born yesterday it looks like all modelling has gone out the window for the next few weeks atleast so mine will be another DNF.
