Thank you Colin for suggesting this one, How could we not honour this beautiful machine.
As Colin suggested, any Scale, any media. Just as long as it is a Spitfire (or Seafire for that matter). Any Nation any mark from the prototype to the last active spitfire.
If you want to join in just start a thread and have at it.
Choks away and all that ol' chap pip,pip and flood the cowlings.

Are you guys still looking for the 10th person?? I've just got my hands on the Eduard 1/48 Spit IIa and will give it a bash if you are looking for someone to make up the numbers. Be warned though, I'm a bit of a slow builder, so might not get if finished before the deadline!

Oops, looks like you got your 10, but if the chance is still there, I would like to have a go. I'm sure my build won't be up to the standard of many of the models I've seen here, but at least my efforts might give the rest of you a laugh!

10 is usually the minimum but the more, the merrier!

As Paul says, dive in and have fun

There's no limit to participants, join in. We just need a minmum of 10 to get the ball rolling.
