Wow, man - this is awesome! No idea how I've missed this until now. Takes some discipline to stick with a project like this...I know I'd hit one of the trickier bits (10 canopies to mask!) and move on to something else for a while. Can't wait for camo and decals!  |

You know, I once watched a guy build and superdetail five '69 Z-28 Camaros at one time and I thought that guy was off the charts. Yet we have here a guy who is building ten Spitfires and doing a great job at it and that guy is just plumb off the map! You're doing a really good job with all of these in regards to giving each one the same level of attention and detail. Keep up the great work.  |

Your hard work and precision are paying off Jeremy, now the real fun will be in painting the schemes. Are you going to give them all the same pattern or vary it slightly from bird to bird?

Well, oh yes the real fun will be in painting the schemes. all the not same pattern - different pattern type, markings different size and underside also I have a top secret - pattern type for BoB so waiting next will be in painting the schemes. you will find out and more interesting. |

Sounds like a good plan. 11 birds is a lot to handle in one shot. |

That's an impressive production line. Henry Ford would be proud. Fine work. The kits looks real nice.
