Thanks Ian, I will look it up :thumb2:
I’ve wanted to do a PRU pink Spitfire for a while as it is so different from the usual colour schemes.
I’m really looking forward to building it. :smiling4:
Geoff.
Finally at last the two missing parts for my hurricane finally turned up so I have another 1/24 hurricane to build. 
And with a cheeky offer of £25 this one turned up as well.
And on opening the box I found another bonus.

Ulrich Puchala made the figures? I guess that means he sculpted them, not that he painted the ones on the boxtop 
I only dropped in to Kitstop in Birkenhead for some paint but Martin ambushed me into buying this.

My wife says ... " I went to buy some knitting yarn - it was half price! :smiling5:Sooo, I bought some more yarn to use up the savings - that was half price too! --- Sooooo - I bought some more yarn to use up the savings! ----------(I love that shirt on you!):rolling:------------- can you see how much I've saved!!
I really love you! --- what would you like for dinner my love :blow-kiss:?"Steve
You know how to deal with that one surely…My wife says ...

Wife….look, we could save fifty percent if we buy this….
You…if we don’t buy it at all we can save one hundred percent…..
Mind you, the ride home can be a bit frosty……
I've had a few trips in an ambulance in my time Tim! My suicidal instincts (even though it's purportedly painless) faded several years ago! The aches and pains persist ... {Coming Dear !}

Hi all
So some arrivals in the past week!
ATB

-------------------------------
With your entry to the MK Model show aka ModelKraft (last Sunday), you get a free kit if you want it.....nothing flash but no complaints. This the ZVEZDA German Motorcycle R-12 and sidecar snap together kit.
The event also raised £5,000 for two local charities - more info here...
Next up two examples of my lack of backbone.....
This was a recommendation from Nick aka @Niho, for the princely sum of £3.17 delivered.
Next up our very own @AlanG without any thought about my bank balance, nor my wife's reaction and with complete dereliction of duty of one who is fulfilling the moderator role, only went an recommended this....I mean really!!!.....he might as well have put it the online basket himself and press 'buy'...... :smiling5:
And finally this.........with which I am VERY pleased......but more about that later!

So another arrival today....less than £4 second hand and in almost mint condition! A recommendation from the Al Murray/James Holland podcast.
Regular viewers may remember my attempt at building an ICM 1/35 G4 Staff Car that ended in failure due to being too complicated for my skill level but also just too complicated for its own good.
It is now sitting in a dark corner having a long hard think about what it did.
However.... I do have an ICM 1/35 ton & a half Chevy G7107 waiting in the wings that the kids gave me for Fathers Day last year and there is no way I can fail to finish it.
In an attempt to make sure that I am fully informed as to how it should go together I felt I had no option except to purchase this for reference & inspiration...
/ So happy. I've wanted one of these since I was 17. Joking aside, I'll have absolutely no excuse for getting the model wrong now.

Just so I’m not confused….easily done these days Dan….are you saying you needed reference material for a truck build so you bought a real one!!! That really is above and beyond…..because, apart from anything else, you’ll never get that on a shelf.
Well yeah, but no. Not really. I asked for the kit because I've always wanted a real one. Then a real one came along. Just thought it would be an amusing post. I'm A bit confused now too though yes, it will need a big shelf. I think. Feel tired now.....
I know of people that have. One has a duce and a half and a real WWII Willis. Another has a Ferret scout car !
As for the 1 and 1/2 If under 3500kg total, I'd gave one.
Nap time.
Yeah, a cckw 352 would be the ultimate but they really are a different animal and a lot harder to use. As for the weight, 4 tons may be ? Still ok to drive on a cat licence as long as it's empty I am given to understand . Or if that's not the case they'll have to catch me first. Actually that wouldn't be too hard.
Short wheelbase was 7K & a bit, considered 2.5 ton capy off road 5 on. Almost exclusively used as arty. (75 & 105mm) prime mover. Had extended hubs & two spares for additional traction in mud/snow like Corbits & Mack NOs.
