Thanks Shaun! It is the first of a ton, expect pics of the SM spit within a
month (because it is a custom kit, like what MB does, rather than just a MOC)
And the p-51 within a few days hopefully, all I need now is a darn A-wing
cockpit!

Really! That's awesome! I was in the final stages of one a few weeks ago,
but the cockpit was so bad and I was so frustrated by it, I decided to start
on a different project and wreck what I had, it wasn't anything speical, it
was too small anyway. I got the pleasure of seeing one IRL at the tilamook
air museum a few weeks ago, it is awesome! Tilamook's selection of planes is
amazing, spit(two seater, MK III or something I think) p-38 (amazing
aircraft) corsair, B-25, hellcat, wild cat and three p-51's! It was a total
dream come true, I had never seen any of those planes before IRL so it was a
total experience, off topic a bit, anyway... :-D

Thanks, unfortuantely, the p-51 uses this style of landing flaps not the
focke wulf, and I didn't even use this on the p-51! oh well,

Don't worry I'll come through, the wait to see the spit is definitely
volatile at the moment though, it's all dependent on the speed of my bb
orders...

Yes you should! I can't wait to see it! How are you going to do the cockpit
though? looks rather difficult to fit a minifig in there and still get the
right angles, I'm sure you can do it though!
