Hallo David,
First of all, happy birthday and many happy returns !
Secondly, last week I was building a ( don't laugh )
cardboard Spitfire, originating from Poland. By accident
I found your beatiful photo's on the web of yr MK 22/24.
I never built a balsa aircraft; yr creations inspired me
and I ordered a Westwings Spitfire kit. What, being a novice, will come from it, we'll see. Thank you anyhow !
will come from it, we'll

From Moostang "Cheers". From the Corona visitors "Saludos".
Nice clean, neat build as expected. Looks to be layered sheets of balsa for stabe and rudder. Should shape beautifully. Again, Happy 66th. |

Thanks all. Barenlad-these are excellent kits but might be a bit difficult to comprehend. This is very heavily modified and strengthened. Yeah Moostang, they're built up using 1/16 pieces. |

A belated Happy Birthday, David. I can say I've learned a lot from a young whippersnapper. (you) I'll be 80 in October.
I'm still a klutz but I am improving at a faster rate than if I didn't have your help.Jack G |

Thanks Jack. We all learn a lot from these youngsters. And many thanks to James for hosting the site, as well. |
