Got to get one, or more, of those Hurricane kits, along with their new Spitfire Mk1 - just to 'bulk out' my (eventual) BoB 'Hardest Days' collection of course !
I mean, it wouldn't be cricket to have (as currently planned) 15 Luftwaffe subjects, and just four RAF, would it ?
Hmm, there goes my 'No more kits' rule then .................
 

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU INVOKE THIS RULE ON YOURSELF?!?!
 
There's 'Few', and then there's 'No ****ing way is that enough'!
I mean, four against fifteen is a bit of a stretch - four against fourteen, maybe, as that's a 'sporting chance', but fifteen, and before breakfast ??!!
 
You know you'll eventually break down and buy another kit Terry, so just do it!

I took a look at the Hobbycraft F-111 I have in the stash to possibly build it for the new group build and was so appalled at the ugly panel lines that I just had to go and order these two. A huge improvement over the surface quality of the Hobbycraft kit. Now to decide if I want to do a 111 for the group build and if so, which one.

Any one want a Hobbycraft F-111 cheep? ..........George?...........
