Hi Mike,

Great lookin' model - I'll look forward to getting a picture or two of it sometime soon.

"Spitfire should be blue"? Bit like this scabby old model that keeps turning up at big modelling events!




TTFN,
Neil

[Mike Booth]

Awesome Neil. Thanks.
Blinding Channel crossing shots and about to touch down at Manston as well.
What a day. Sorry did someone mention the Channel.

Nice one Chockster, I'll be playing catch up this week.

[Gregg Veasey]

So here she is ready for delivery to latest customer.
All she lacks is a receiver and the fuel to fly.

Looks great Mike. You seem to be lacking in the 'that will do' attitude too. Maybe you can use some on Ken's spit!

[Mike Booth]

Gregg way to go mate I really did laugh out loud.
He's alright that Kenny boy, you should see the standard of his full size interior refurb's.
Pukka son.

Well, after my Spit doing free flight last year at the Nats and getting quite badly damaged, I am pleased to report that Mike Boothe successfully got it all repaired for me.
Progress report.
I have started painting
This evening I managed to get all the underside in the light grey.
Hoping to have it in cammo by Sunday night.

Great news Mr B. You without a spit is like it used to be with you without a Corsair!

[Mike Booth]

You can see Kens Spitfire in action and all developments with Flying Legends Spitfire kit at www.supermarineworks.com

[Ken Bones]

All the cammo paint is now on.
What you really mean Gregg is that I'm to blinking lazy to get something else finished!

[Philip Goff]

Excellent news Ken,
You can never have too many Spitfires.

Regards Phil G.

Well I am really happy to report that I had four great flights with the Spit over the weekend. All went really well (apart from the exhaust coming loose on the first flight) and as soon as she lifted off I felt at home again with it.
Big thank you to Mike Booth for helping out with grafting the front end back onto the fuz and for his superb weathering done at the field over the weekend in between flights

No worries Ken, my pleasure. You are the master of the three point landing.
Good to see Squadron strength back up to where it was.
Loved our duo flight.
See you at the beach head landing ground.!

[Mike Booth]

Here he is looking chuffed with the post restoration flight.
The relatives of the original 92yr old pilot have been in touch after he saw Kens model on the net.
We are going to meet them this summer and put on a show for them

[BRIAN RAWCLIFFE]

Nice one Ken. Do you mind if I join you with my restored Tempest,which I flew succsessfully two weeks ago.

[Mike Booth]

I will have the new Flying Legends MK14/19 at Gaydon.
