hmm. the dates for the build enfringe slightly with my exam timetable... I may be able to fit it in, though. after all, it's only one spitfire, should take me the best part of a week. might have to bail out on it though.

Ah, wait scratch that, I will not be doing the hurricane, as my dad remembers building the exact same kit as a child and has claimed it for himself. Just the spit, then.

Assembly complete! the paintwork needs touching up, especially at the bottom. but once that's done it's varnishing then decalling and then a trip to the LMS for my next victim :)

Well, I did spend most of the day on it. I'm planning on also doing a  mkvb to replace the hurricane, cause the giftset's only £3.99 at hobbycraft. so we shall see what i find tomorrow.
