Well we, that is my wife and I have joined in on this jolly jape.
After a visit to the local hobby shop and finding out but the kit we were after has been sold out and no more available, we stumbled on these two.
The good lady Biggles or Rose, will be building the Spitfire.
Myself, I am taking on the Gladiator, which the decals gives me the chance to start a project of mine.
Tangmere is only a few miles away from here, and I decided that how about building a version of most of the planes that flew out of Tangmere and also Thorney Island which was mostly coastal command.
Anyway, we will hope to get on with these two soon.

Simon and Rose.

Your Ladyship Biggles welcome to our humble soirée. Your footman Simon is welcome downstairs of course. Who said watching Downton Abbey don't learn us colonials proper et-t-kat

Don't we all...lol

It may be my computer resolution, but aren't the colors on the upper surface of the lower wings supposed to be lighter than the dark green / dark earth? Built one of these many years ago and seem to remember something about that..may have to dive into my old copy of "Camouflage and Markings" to be sure.

C'mon then Simes ,whats up with it ?

Well dear chaps, if you look carefully at the plans you will see that something does not tally up.
Look at the underneath plan towards the rear you will see that it shows brown on both sides of the centre line but when you look at the side profile it shows green on the starboard side.
So which way do I go dear friends?

Cheers Al that is what I was going with.

Simon, you and Rose have made a start, all things proceed from there. Look forward to seeing both models move ahead.
