The method in my madness is i use the next one to keep me going on the first one! Only thing is, as of Friday past, the list had stretched to 14 at the finishing line! :dizzy: Should have that down to single figures by the end of the week!

It all stems from the fact i love the building of the kit and dislike the painting! :facepalm:

Geoff, don't beat yourself up mate. At least you are building at the moment sir! :clap:

Remember, our hobby is for our enjoyment. :wink:

Kick back and enjoy, I look forward to what you may be able to accomplish at the end of the GB. :up:

Cheers Scott,
But there is a T-bird that has been put to the side for now due to the arrival of the Airfix GR1, more on that in a future thread!

With less than a day to go, ive already this weekend let my life get in the way of these builds, but for once in a good way. On the plus side, last in in the shape of Airfix GR1 looks to be first finished on these builds.

Its been an absolute joy to build, but i seem to have mysteriously lost 2 decals. The one bit i didnt like finally succumbed to continually being hit and the LH elevon fell off! :mad: Out came the drill and a round scrap plastic dowel and it was all good again. A couple of dangly bits to finish later today.

Image

The other 2 need a bit more work to see the finish line and im undecided as to what is going to hang from them! The T2 might just end up with 2 tanks on it but i kinda like it clean! The Italeri GR1 suffered an undercart mishap early on and again, the drill and round plastic dowel help fit a spare main bogey in place.

Should have all afternoon and evening to get it all finished!
Arabest,
Geoff.

Amazing! You got 3 done and I couldn't finish that 1 kit... The three kits look amazing. I would gladly have any one of these in my collection any day. :clap:
