discussion First flight of the Spitfire 5th March 1936 - 90 years ago

[colin m]

I'm sure many of us have built a Spitfire or two in the past, but this is quite a special date. Is anyone interested in a Group Build to mark the occasion ?
There was something like 24 variants made, ignoring the Mk26 - ish. So even if you've made one before, I'm sure there's another you could find.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

count me in Colin.

 

[PaulTRose]

Sounds good to me

When you thinking?

 

[Nicko]

I've got at least three in the stash so I'd be up for this so long as it doesn't clash with any of the others I've signed up for.....

Nick

 

[Geoffers]

Yes please

Geoff.

 

[Andy T]

If you can find a slot that doesn't clash too much with other GB's, count me in.

 

[flyjoe180]

I have a few Spitfires Colin, count me in. If you extend the time allowed it will fit around existing GBs

Greetings everyone. We could fit this in with a slight overlap with the logistics GB, so, if we get 10 people, we could do March, April and May. What do people think ? We'd be ok at 1:72 Anyone with a 1:24 better have a very understanding partner to get that done in 3 months.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Sounds like a plan Colin.

 

[Andy T]

I'm up that time slot

 

[Nicko]

Happy to give it a go....

I’m hoping to be up and running again soon, so count me in Colin.

Well we didn't make the ten required for a GB so it's off. The lack of interest for a Spitfire GB was a bit surprising, but I do understand,. Just about everyone has built a Spitfire before. I think I've done 6 !

 

[PaulTRose]

Boo! I was looking forward to this one

 

[Ian M]

Well it was very short notice Colin. And we only got a week to find the suggestion.
How many are we, me included.

I could bend the rules a bit for this one time.... If you want me to that is.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I think were about 9. I am sure others would shout up and join in once a date is set.

 

[Andy T]

I think were about 9.

I could do 2 to make the numbers up

 

[pjgtech]

I do have a Spit in my stash, but I have gone "orf" planes a bit, but put me down as a maybe? if thats allowed.... cheers

We can't really set a date without at least 10 people. I have already suggested March / April / May, giving us just a slight overlap with the logistics GB.
