At last! GT350R to the UK ....

OK, so here's one for all you naysayers and non-believers. Ordered my Mustang GT350R last Friday ..... metallic blue with black OTT stripes ....























...... and picked it up today! (from the postman! )

The box only gives it a 7 out of 10 though

Pictures of that Spitfire!!!

Congrats man, what's the underseal like? ;)

If it's like the modern Match box then it'll be plastic....totally rust proof!!

Now that is impressive

Wow, what a brilliant model:first:

Thank you very much gentlemen, appreciate your feedback.

I have a P51 to do next but I just cant seem to find the time! .... the Spitfire took me about 3 months! (not all in one go however!). Then I have a Typhoon (WW2 not current) and a Mosquito to do, so plenty to keep me busy.

I'm hoping Ford might like the P51 when it's finished - I'll swap them for a GT350! ..... but a real one obviously! Over to you [MENTION=18365]Andy Barratt[/MENTION]

..... oh yes, I forgot! I also have a 1:8 scale Ayrton Senna Mclaren MP4/4. Awesome!

Thanks. Yes, a Vb - the 1:24 Trumpeter kit. A couple of years back I found myself with some time on my hands, so in addition to the 300 miles a week I was doing on my bike I fancied having a go at building a Spitfire. I must have been about 15 or 16 the last time I did a plastic model kit (and that is a LONG time ago!), and I'd never done one using an airbrush or anything like that so it was a bit of a voyage of discovery! Thank goodness for the internet.

Britmodeller is a good site, there are some awesome models on there - I can't believe the detail the real experts recreate. I just built whatever was in the box, but for those guys what's in the box is only the starting point!

Anyway, now you've got me thinking about Spitfires I had to do my usual trawl of YouTube for videos - and I never get tired of watching this one! Enjoy
