RICHARD WILLS Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 All of the small additions from the prototype have been recorded in the files for cutting the kits . Phill the Kit cutter is grumbling about having to actually make some , but that is entirely normal . Green Graham has been finishing off the drawing so we are very close now . I might do two batches in a series of say two weeks . Ideally those that are actually going to lead the charge and are ready to start , could you please pm me . Those that are happy to watch the other get a couple of weeks head start , sit on your hands . Here are a couple of pictures of the great Guru in action . Its not all work though . 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'd hoped to have both the FW190 and Tempest completed in time for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day on 6th June, but since I haven't even started the FW190 yet, with the best will in the world that isn't going to happen, given the snail's pace that I usually build at. Have been supposed to have started the FW190 as soon as I'd cleared the bench, more than a month ago, but the Hurricane fix up has dragged on, with it taking forever due to airbrushing the markings and getting diverted onto some glider repairs for a slope competition which was cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could get your schedule back on track , if you opened the Tempest and 190 boxes at the same time and built one with the right hand and the other with the left . Probably end up with a Sea Fury as previously mentioned😬 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Oh you house elves ..... John means he chooses to be in the first batch , and that his building skills are like mine , intermittent . (although his Spitfire turned out a treat ) Anyway John , you're in the first batch . It'll be like the first world war . I'll blow the whistle and you gallant lads will be up and at "em " I'll be putting the kettle on .😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
