I think I've become a collector
Hey Chris, there was a real Spitfire as a Gate Guard at RAF Coltishall a Spitfire Mk LF XVIe from 1963. I don't know of a real spit mounted on a roundabout but there was a fiberglass model in place behind the main gatehouse from 1989 until October 2006, when it was removed to be used as a gate... -

I think I've become a collector

I think I've become a collector

I think I've become a collector
Hey guys, I know we lose our modelling mojo from time to time when real life gets in the way of our hobby, projects get stalled for various reasons like we need a part or paint or further research. For me right now it's not that, I'm super keen on getting my brand new modelling space up to... -
