Hi Billbo, Thank you for your interest in my build,at present I'm waiting for part 6 this is the issue that will be in a box (no broken parts)I have just received a e-mail saying 14 days delivery, where is that posted? As promised a photo you have asked for to show the size of the wing,I know that each build is a bit different but this is mine. 1st picture shows total length from end to end around 18in. 2nd picture shows Carbon Tube fitted with pull tags. Hope this helps.   Regards Trev. Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Nice idea Trev with the pull tags, I take it they are plastic ties or look like it, Andy

Hi Andy, Thank you for replying ,yes they are plastic ties I found them very strong and easy to fit but not easy to cut ended up with a small hacksaw. Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev, Some nice progress there matey, My fuselage is in a clamped situation at the moment hoping it will be straight this time when it comes out.  I have several issues to be getting on with now and was wondering where you got that great tubing from for inside the wings? Happy building, Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Alan, Good to hear from you your sovereign look's special very well built, as for the Spitfire yes it is big but a great kit to built, but I have a larger electric powered kit I made up some time ago, so this kit seems a bit small.

Looks great Trev,
This is a real model builders kit isn't it, really enjoying your build

Jase, Thanks for looking in, I find when you make the more fragile balsa builds you can break bits off which can cause a lot of frustration, I have just finished a Gloster Javelin (Balsa and tissue)point is this Spitfire build is a dream in comparison so as you say this is a builders kit.

Hi All, Today I received part 6 of the Spitfire build, this turned up a very wet brown box due to the weather today but no broken parts. The only point I was wondering about was that when I opened it there were only 3 parts in the box, has any one else had the same or should there be 4 parts ?   Regards Trev.

Hi Trev, Good to see the parts boxed, all be the box soggy  At least they are in one piece, Would assume you should have four packs, but I`m not up to this stage so cannot confirm one way or the other. One thing I have noticed though, the ribs still have the scrap inner bits in place. None of my ribs have had these bits still in place to date, so may be that stops the parts breaking as well. So with your itchy finger problem solved, it`s on with the next stage. CAN`T WAIT. Having taken a closer look, you should have parts 24. Looks like it`s a call to CS.

Trev. Hi Trev, That looks funny to me, as all advertising says four parts per delivery. It may only be three this time, but I would check your bill to see how many parts you are being charged for. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
