Series One (Mustang P-51s) was such a rousing success*

(*I had fun doing it...and thats a success!)


I have begun work on Series Two!!

Once I get all the PDFs done and the kits assembled, they will be uploaded to ecardmodels
and should be available by the 1st of December!

I have started a build thread for the Grey Nurse Spitfire HERE (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/aviation/6235-grey-nurse-spitfire-dave-winfield-repaint.html#post90988)

I might be interested in getting a "test" build of the "Black 57" Spit.
Its the only one with any question of alignment issues (the red stripe down the fuselage)
...anyone interested in building one fast, before the Dec.1st release?
