      Colins (CDW's) Spitfire in a barn

      So then, if i've got this right ....
      I can use an already built model of a 1/72 spitfire .... mangle it gently to suit, and include it in a little diorama of some form of "crash"

      If this is the case then i'll have a bash at the afore-said spitfire that has had to force land somewhere in Europe... coming to rest nose-first in a barn after taking a few saplings/trees/bushes (maybe an outhouse or little shed) out along the way

      Just checking this follows the rules Ian?

      *Edit* realised people had their name in title ... makes sense ...... DOH

      Sounds to me like it has crashed into the barn, so yes, no problems there. Others are also using an old kit for their victim so go ahead. I do expect to see a bit of creative destruction on it though!!! lol-

      Sounds like a good little scene and I look forward to seeing it develop.

      certainly do mate. this is the kit I received as a free gift from airfix after a problem with another kit to show how good their moulding is now. the fit was terrible, I had to file off the locating lugs for the seat assembly so the fuselage halves would go together. the wings had more gaps than a hill billies teeth and it was a general disappointment to make so I had great pleasure a minute ago chopping it to pieces
