I'm Number Four.

You're certainly cracking on with it. You are a very prolific builder, i love the work ethic, its a pity SWMBO cant understand why I want buy another model to start whilst I still haven't finished the one I am currently building.
I have copied a number of photos of your workshop showing your models in 'various states of build' to show her that other modellers have multiple builds "on the go".

I have an excuse! Anything you do is fine by me, I need some light relief from Kitchens! [badass]

Do it now, you may never get another chance

I've been out all day! Spitfire!
I went off Warthogs, when they were scheduled for a slot at a Barton airshow, and we could all see them flying up and down the ship canal, a quarter of a mile away, totally unable to see 90,000 cars, and 190,000 people, some big marquees, and lots of aircraft on the ground. Not only that, but they couldn't find the Barton NDB (shouting BTN, BTN in morse), and the bod in the tower telling them they were flying past, and to turn 90 left (or right, depending which way they happened to be going!)

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
Thanks: boz

Got it off the shelf :) , I was going to do the A10 :S ,then I had to find all the bits for it,
Started out I was going electrikery with it then thought I would go petrol, if I go petrol I have to buy a engine and it will need a 100cc job, and now if I go electric I need lots of lipos 6s 5000 4 per flight plus a 200A +ESC
Or I could set fire to it :evil: and save a years pension,





I even have all the paint for it, from Mick Reeves, authentic colours , bought them 18 months ago

It got some damage in storage and moving house



Cannot seem to get any enthusiasm for it, same as the Lancaster :(

Instead of setting fire to it you can give it to me and I'll turn it into a slope soarer [badass]

That's my plan for a 1/4 Spit - PSS - I have the Monforton book which is amazing.

If I lived over there Monz you could probably have it, though its heavy the fuselage on its own with the motor and two 6s 5000 lipos in it tops the scales at 6.9 kg :ohmy:

Sorry but I don't think this models going to make it to completion, went out this morning after my coffee
and decided to do gardening over the Spitfire, so I think it is back on the shelf with it,
But did not do gardening for long as I became ill, finished up in bed for most of the day
Nat was worried I was in for another stroke :(

Its back on the shelf now, I considered all things including the cost of getting it to flying state and it was to much, plus the fact I have had no joy with high powered leccy models, in fact they have cost me a lot of money for no return
One day maybe
