Cool! I have four(!) different boxings so I'll have to decide which one(s) to do! Luckily, there's plenty of time!

I think this should give us a nice mix of kits and schemes, and encourage OOB builds.PaulBradley wrote: ↑December 31st, 2022, 8:16 pm Cool! I have four(!) different boxings so I'll have to decide which one(s) to do! Luckily, there's plenty of time!

October I hope I don't forget about it
All models are equal. Some models are more equal than others.

Don't worry - there'll be plenty of reminders along the way! This is just a place to start the conversation as we didn't have an individual chat thread for this GB.

Just arrived!
And to make life a bit easier
I'm tempted by the black night-fighter option using the kit decals.

The Mk IV I always thought was the nicer looking aircraft. I'll see what's about.
It's only pain, work through it.

I'll probably more than likely be in with this build - I have a Blenheim mk.IF kit that I'd like to build in day fighter colours. The only thing is it is part started - I think I've done step 1 on the instruction sheet, which was put the spar into the wing or similar. Let me know if that's acceptable or not.
