Great story, great modelling and great painting. All backed up by some real precision chucking! It doesn't get any better than this.
What's most impressive is that, in all those different shots, the spitfire has its left wingtip slightly lower than the right. That's not just amazingly consistent chucking skills - it's witchcraft!

Tremendous Ron, so impressed

Love the Geordie accent, friend of mine is one. Living in Cardiff for yrs he sounds more Welsh, but he can switch to pure Geordie in a sec, great accent along with Cockney

Brilliant! Thanks yet again for the great posts. It's great to read all your most generous comments on this build. My wife is getting a rather too large a bonce!

Yes, just good and consistent 'Chucking'

She has me spellbound too, Paul. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to do the ironing, hang out more washing, hoover and clean the house, go shopping and prepare and cook the dinner.......Oh, and my wife has just shouted she needs her armchair cushion fluffing up and would I be a dear and get her another cup of tea.

Yeah! If she continues to improve, you're going to have to sharpen up your dodging skills considerably!

Thanks boys.
Paul. No need for "Sorry", it was my rather poor 'Tongue in cheek' humour that's backfired a tad.
I've edited that part in my previous post......:thumb2:

Thanks again for your nice comments, chaps.

Cheers.
Ron

Is that all? What about that shelf unit she asked you to put up nearly an hour ago?

After all, it's her chucking skills that earn you the accolades on here. P'raps she should think about changing her name to L'Oreal? :smiling:
