I gotta say Richard it looks a really good mk1 and you now have set the benchmark for the rest of us! I only hope we can live up to the example you have set  |

| | Scale Model Member | Hey RJ, well done on the Spit. Looks great. I am dying to get going on this project but last week we moved house, which is a mammoth project, especially as there's a helluva lot of DIY to do. I just don't know when I'll be able to get going on this. I am also itching to try out my airbrush for the first time.
Ho hum, maybe in about another two weeks I'll find a breathing space. | |

Richard,
Modelling is not a destination but a journey to perfection and we all are constantly learning along the way.
I always admire and appreciate anyone who takes the time and patience to put together a model for the sheer satisfaction of doing it and showing it to admirers. It is something that i have loved doing all my life and i would always encourage others to do the same.
Your Spit looks superb and reminds me of why I love the shape of this particular aircraft so much. I am now looking forward to seeing how others compare.
Don't forget it is a very brave person who shows his cards first as everyone else then knows what to beat!!! | |

You cannot beat that feeling of pride when you finish a model and you are happy with it. Well done. | |
